Hey guys, so this weekend, I'm probably trading my grand cherokee for a '95 f150 xl. It's a nice truck, but with the xl, in gonna miss the power door locks (windows I could care less about lol) is it possible to get some kind of remote door lock for this truck, or can I upgrade it to power locks easily? What are my options for something like this? Ideally I'd like to be able to have a little remote, probably remote start, but if not, I can deal with it. Thanks guys

 

Yes. Any audio and keyless entry installer can easily do it. I've looked into doing it on mine.

 

How about doing it ourselves I've been interested about doing mine

 

My thoughts on manual locks and crank windows...

If I'm stopped, I can reach over and unlock or roll up/down the passenger side. If I'm driving, I don't really see any reason to lock/unlock the door. However, I often roll the passenger side window up or down while going down the road. Something I can't do with the crank windows.

So to me, I would consider crank windows the biggest inconvenience. That's just me, though. I know if you often have a passenger, it gets old having to unlock both doors. Just think about driving on the highway on a nice day with the windows down and all the sudden, you go through a big rain storm, lol! I've had to pull over just to roll up the ol crank window!
