No, because nobody makes one for the 2015-2020.

You can buy one but the lock is weak at best.

I'm surprised someone on this site hasn't designed a quick and cheap good looking mod. If I was a little more concerned I would buy a replacement cover, research a good looking lock or even better run a cable from the cab with an interior release on the cover. I would expect a parts cost of less than $20 without buying a new cover as those run around $30 OEM.

Ford Accessory states they now offer one - part # BU5Z-9C268-A, although I personally have not seen this device

as inexpensive as it is, I may order one just to see what it looks like

I bought one of these. Doesn't work for my 2020 F150. No locking slots in the filler. Save your money.

Gotcha !!

if you still have it could you post a photo - just curious to see what it looks like.

It clearly states Vehicle Notes: Vehicle must have enabling locking plug slots

Doesn't make any sense why they would state it fits our F150s.

Sure. Here's a pic. I tried it, no dice. The local dealer charges a 15% restocking fee so I just kept it. I noticed that the part# you have has an A, where mine is a B. Years ago I was a Ford parts flunky and I often saw the numbers differed, even in a current year.

Package opened, cap unused

I've seen it posted on Mustang forums that the "A" works for them. I'm not sure what the difference is between the Mustang and F150 inlet.

Pretty sure the "B" was the part number for the previous gen F150.

Well in any case, I don't have any locking slots on mine. If they ever make a proper locking door I'll get it, but the one I saw on American Trucks looks like junk and it's way overpriced in my opinion. But I'm a bit of a cheapskate so....
