If you have the 8 inch screen, you can put the truck in valet mode and use a pin to lock valet mode. No need to use a different key.

How do you remove the bottom driver seat cushion? I have a 2018 stx so it has the lumbar **** and manual handle for back adjustment. I’m looking to add some cushion because i feel way to sunken in. I’ve tried searching and I could only find how to remove the trim on the power seats. I see two Torx screws on the side shield, where do I go from there? I’m a newb so please don’t flame me

Hope this helps someone!
I have been wondering what those two notches were for! thanks

New owner--old Ford guy, however--of an '18 XL with the 4" menu screen and wondering if there's a way to disable the auto-lock feature (without using FORScan). Looked in the OM and thru the DIC and can't find that option. I don't even want to share the number of times I've hopped out of the truck, left the engine running to run around the back of the truck to get something out of the bed only to find...F#@%!!! The tailgate is locked!!!

If Ford changed the MFT display (My Ford Touch (2014 had these icons)) by taking the seat icons off the screen (15 and up) and only using the "heated steering wheel" icon......why have i found found multiple at least 2015 MFT's displaying the seat icons?? --2015 Platinum

If they are pre-owned trucks, it is highly likely that the previous owner activated the icons with FORScan
