So when I picked up my '19 it came with a set of small black keys labeled "Citadel", I asked my salesman what they were for and he said they're for the spare tire lock. I thought they must have changed it from the '18 larger key in the fob. While going over the truck I realized that these keys do not fit anything I can find and also realized my keys didn't come with the small plastic card with the key cutting number on it. So, anyone have an idea what these small "Citadel" keys may go to? There is no cover or tool box that came with the truck or any other accessory. It was a brand new truck with 3 miles on it. They could have gotten mixed with my keys from possibly another vehicle in their shipment? Thanks for any help.

Aftermarket latch of some kind. I do have a "Citadel" bike lock with the same logo... may be for another vehicle and got tossed in by mistake...

Also the key on the RH side of the ring in the picture looks like the one I have for my Yakima box. Backside of mine is labelled Eurolocks.

The S04 key is for your BoxLinks, the tie downs in the bed of the truck.

The Citadel key is probably for the spare tire lock. It's mounted on the spare tire itself. You have to crawl under the truck to see it.

Do you have the boxlink system? The keys looks approximately the right size for those.

^Like soaringfalcon said; the right should be your BoxLink key.
The black and that winged one. I have no clue...

Although, now that my mind found some lost files. I have that black key, and I'll dig it up today, but I know it wasn't vehicle related..

Right one is box link - left winged one looks to be spare truck key, it should open the drivers door.
The citadel appears to be for something aftermarket product.

Yes, the silver small key is for the box link, the silver large key is for the door, tire lock, center console and glove box. I will crawl under the truck and see if there is a separate lock on the spare tire.

Mystery solved, looks like they added a cable lock to the spare tire. Thanks for your help guys!

While I was under there, I noticed the spare is a 255/70r18 Goodyear, while the truck is mounted with Michelin 275/65r18. I know the tire size is essential the same diameter wise, but is that Ford's standard practice of mixing tires for their spare? I am not concerned about it, but rather just curious.
