I do not like fumbling with a much smaller fuel cap key (than my house or car) trying to open the locking gas cap. Thanks for that idea of the lock on outside. My lock and key guy can add this task to his list for upgrading my truck. Clever. Very clever.

The newer trucks don't have gas caps so this a great idea. Thanks

Sounds smart. A cabinet lock for $10 and one hole to drill.

My truck has a DVR camera facing front and back. $70. Great for accidents too.

When my 2016 MKX is locked, I have repeatedly opened the fuel access door by simply depressing the aft edge of the access door as instructed in the manual. The door pops open about one inch and then you manually open the door fully to access the fuel filler. It is necessary to manually depress the trailing edge of the door first...you cannot open the door without performing this step first...unless you use something like a crowbar to pry it open.I contact to Locksmith for the problem and he resolve it.
