Another option, as I understand it, is that you can use an Alexa or Google device (speaker at home/work) to remote start the Maverick. If it can do that, I would think you can also have Alexa lock or unlock the door for you as well? I'm not sure about the latter however.

Yes. Touching the ridged area on the stationary part of the front door handles locks.

Except then you have to carry your cellphone. My cellphone doesn't seem to enjoy swimming. I like to purposely lock my key inside the vehicle as well as all my valuables, then go swimming without this stuff. Come back, enter the code, and get the key and stuff inside.
Yes... Keypad entry is a really great feature for just this reason I'm guessing Ford must hold a patent on this as I've never seen it on any other vehicle make?

I haven't looked at mine but someone posted that there is a pull release for door in driver's side of fender well in front of tire

Some bronco owners have tucked it neatly into the gas door cap. That's what I plan to explore (assuming the Mav doesn't have a fuel door release)

Can an owner chime in how the fuel door opens - from the cab, or outside the vehicle

If anybody can explain to me what the point of proximity keyless entry is when you need to use the key to start the engine on the XLT. If you have to get the key out of your pocket would it be just as easy to push the button on the remote.
As an XL owner, the thing I want this for the MOST is auto-locking doors when I walk away. Sure, auto unlock would be nice when my hands are full, but I am looking into aftermarket options because I want the assurance that the door locked as I walked away and I'm not second guessing if I pressed the button as I was walking away.

Is anyone concern about the Ecoboost fuel door being push to touch? What's stopping anyone from putting liquid or any other things that's not supposed to go there?

I've never had that happen to me or anyone that I know. So I'm not very worried about that happening.
