bought a locking gas cap for my 2013 xlt screw and my wife looked at me like i was crazy - anybody else buy one ???

 

Call me crazy too because I bought one.

Seriously, it is small and should do a good job. I've had issues before with kids leaving things behind my fuel door. This will keep gravel/dirt/junk out of my tank.

It's not expensive anyway. The key works well and the cap comes off easily. Best locking gas cap I've ever had.

 

Why didn't Ford put a gas cap on in the first place?

 

Bought one too. I've used it for six months and like the peace of mind! Better safe than sorry!

 

I bought a locking gas lid.

 

I got one

 

Bought one for my wifes '10 Lariat. SHE insisted !!!!!!

Her reasoning was, that since she travels down a lot of gravel roads, that dust would end up in the fill area, and eventually get into the gas tank, and cause a problem.

 

Had one on my 2010 and 2012, but after learning more about the capless system Ford invented, and how secure it is, I took my locking cap off --- have not reinstalled it since......It's really nice to just open the outside door, and put the gas nozzle right in -- especially when its REALLY cold, it's much faster!

 

Same here, I had a locking door (chrome) and it kind of stuck out like a turd in a punch bowl but as you say after reading about the cap-less set up I don't worry about it.

Not like some punk is going to carry around a funnel the exact size needed to be mischievous.

I also have CCTV on my house so if someone does do something stupid I will be able to identify and sue for damages.

i`m glad i bought the locking it was not expensive [ $ 25.00 ] and like someone said - PEACE OF MIND - way too easy to do damage and it removes easily !!!!
