There are a lot of threads about doing this with both the crew and super cabs. With pictures and instructions some even right here on this thread.

I kept the Master brand tailgate lock that goes around the right side tailgate pivot for anti-theft from the 2014 EcoBoost. Works on the 2015 tailgate just fine .

Watch out cause she may get sideways.
Also If you hold the the button it will turn the system all the way off.

Ive Looked through this post but my biggest PP is when I put the truck in park, the doors dont unlock. I end up hopping out to get something out the back seat or the bed and have to walk back and unlock the freaking doors. Can this be fixed? Coming from a Chevy I guess I'm spoiled because when the truck is put in drive they lock and when you put it in park they unlock. But this is the only complaint about the truck!!

If someone could figure out how to make the mirrors automatically fold when put in park/unfold in drive I'd gladly donate.

I noticed that the 2016 Explorers do this. It's a very nice feature to have!

I did the same thing every day for a couple weeks! Then I got myself into the habit of sliding my hands over the unlock button before getting out when the engine is still running.

Or when I stop to drop off/pickup passengers. The rear doors don't unlock with a handle pull and people don't like pulling the locks so I unlock before they reach for the handle. Forgot that a few times picking up my kids after dances.

Unlock on park would have helped with that, assuming I didn't just slow down enough to get in or get out. haha

Yeah, I figure this will be the only fix for this unless I go all hardcore and look at wiring diagrams and add some kind of jumper wire to make them unlock when its put in park lol... But I'm a lazy bum and that sounds like too much work LMFAO!!

First F-150 I've owned, driven GM trucks for 15 years. Went with Ford because of all the bells and whistles for the money and can't get auto folding mirrors, auto unlock, or a damn indicator light that says my WASHER FLUID IS LOW! $52k, and counting and we still haven't left the 90s.
