Truck must be locked for remote start to work. Press start button once and hold longer on second press.

Better get the key now, before you lose the only one you have. I just got my 2012 three weeks ago and it only came with one key (dealer probably tossed spare key in a drawer to sell a second key). They quoted $200 for new key and $200 to program it. I said I'll pass.

Read that you can program new key yourself. Got compatible key off Amazon or eBay (actually both I think). $25. Then found out it takes a minimum of two working keys to program third key yourself. Off course!

Took key to dealer to get programmed. They said it may or may not wor, and if not I would have to buy their magical $200 key. Right! Called me 3 hours later said they couldn't get it to work. Sure! They said I'd still have to pay the $200 fee for them attempting to program it, or I could pay $200 more for their key. Bent me over for $400. They programmed their magic key in less than 2 minutes. Told me when I made the appointment that it would take 1.5 - 2 hours. What a scam!

Sooooooooo......... I take my sore rear end home with my new $400 oem key. I figure I may as well try programming my $25 key, what the heck. So??? 90 seconds later I have 3 working keys! STILL not happy about getting taken for $400.

Picked up this 2012 with 118K Miles. Looking forward to learning more about it and upgrading here and there. Couple of questions off the bat (I'm sure they're dumb and must have been covered somewhere...):

Spare Key - Only came with one key. Should I bother ordering a second factory key or will the keypad and another plain key suffice?

Rev Limiter - Where can I disconnect the rev limiter? :D Kidding, but something is definitely going on here. Driving up to 100MPH and it literally stops accelerating right there. Tried this 3 times so far with the same results. What gives? It can't be scared, it's a Raptor!

Remote Start - Does not appear to function. Any known issues here?

Rattle - Slight rattle in the dash somewhere. Had a Duramax diesel with same issue that I fixed with a bit of rubber molding. Any common areas rattles occur?

Spare - It's appears the spare tire changing tools are all gone. Furthermore, the key cylinder assembly is completely missing from the rear bumper. Spare tire is still there but useless to me if I can't get it down and installed.

Camper Shell - Already removed. No need for me. May look into a rolling tonneau cover in the future if I find the need.

Got a 2014 last year with one key. Figured I’d get another to keep in the safe just in case.

My local dealer (central IL) charged $150 for their key and programming if I recall correctly.

Key part number: R8067 - $115
Programming was like $35 or something. Your mileage may vary.

Good luck and have fun!
