Does the tailgate unlock with the proximity key? For example, can I walk up to a locked truck and press the tailgate unlock button?

I know I can use the fob but that's not the point. Also, can you drop the tailgate from the cab?

 

My tailgate will drop when the truck is locked if I have my keys with me. I can also use the remote to drop the tailgate from the cab of the truck.

 

awesome thanks

 

I'm surprised that Ford never put a tailgate "pop" button inside the vehicle. I know I would use it. Especially when backing up my jetski trailer down the launch.

 

Yes

Only with the FOB; there is no "tailgate release" button in the cab.
