Alright dude, you just want to argue. Obviously I said that because the previous comment by the other user was telling me to push the button and go. Thought maybe he knew something that I didn't and there was a hidden button that I had and wasn't aware of since the message before that said its standard equipment. So back to my original post... Now that we know it's not standard and not everyone has the option... Has anyone added or installed it?

I'm confused... LOL where is this push button again? Just kidding.
Are you serious? You want to add a push button keyless keyfob system to an XLT. I would not know where to start. Oh yea. Trade in the XLT for a Lariat or up and you will get that system.

I have a feeling that it's not as simple as just adding a button and it working. Likely has a whole system that needs added, if it even possible and probably in the thousands of dollars range to do it. Best thing to do would be to call your dealer and ask about it.

Here is what I have found so far:
There area a few systems out there to accomplish aftermarket upgrade. You get the same functionality using RFID for proximity of the fob and usually by placing a cut off key copy in the ignition and leaving it there to disable the column lock (with no chip so it can't start the car)

EZGo seems to be the closest thing to a OEM system. They even have the door handle. You can find them on Amazon, but they have not released anything for 2015. I'm trying to contact them to find out a date.

Has a really complete explanation of their system and even has access to the instruction of how to install. Very informative.

Finally there is IIS. Which seems to be an aggregation of options that are available for various cars.
I would still love to hear if anyone else is tackling this project. I got my truck 5 days ago (as a matter of fact this is my first post to the forum ) and I don't think I am ready to hack into her just yet to make the mod...but soon maybe

Probably the most cost effective way is above. Adding it as a factory option would require a lot of wiring and adding of antennas that don't exist in your truck. There's probably about 5 or 6 antennas in different locations around the truck for the FOB to work properly. Not to mention reprogramming the BCM to allow it, if that's even possible.

Don't listen to the haters man. I am in the same boat. XLT Sport. Love it. Loved the Lariat but all the extra cash was not in the cards for me...but I would love to make some strategic upgrades (push button, 8in cluster screen, front cam leather seat covers when the sport cloth looks tired)
