My truck has the door keypad. There was supposed to be a card in the owner's manual with the factory code on it. I looked everywhere and did not find it. I searched around the internet and found the following video that steps you through a simple way to retrieve your code:

Once I retrieved the factory code then I could set the 5 digit code that I wanted. This may be old news but it wasn't to me. I thought it might help somebody else.

I have Push Button Start so I can't just leave the tailgate unlocked. Fob or keypad are the only ways to get into the bed of the truck.

When you and your spouse are sharing one key for something (motel, forgotten/lost house key, etc) you lock the one key in the truck if each is on their separate ways. Upon return, use keypad to get the key. Happens lots.

I use the keypad daily. Often leaving my keys in the truck when I'm in the gym or even at work (I park in a secure garage). Just so much easier than hauling my keys and FOB. I read somewhere that Ford was going to stop the keypad as standard equipment and it will only be a dealer installed option for $500. Anyone know if that's still Ford's plan?

For me its really convenient when I go surfing, boating, kayaking, doing yard work, going out to my property, etc. There are many reasons why bringing your keys around is not convenient.
