Different strokes. (@Oldfart strokes his goats). I love the keypad. Use it often. I'd miss it. If I go for hike or run I prefer to leave fob in car. I don't use no app.
I thought I would use it when I hiked also, but I've ended up never taking the Raptor when I go hiking. The parking where I hike is pretty remote, so I end up using my Tundra for that. So far, I never used the keypad other than to make sure it works.

Well, I mean, you tend to keep stuff locked inside, not out.

Is the keypad that big a deal if you have the app on your phone?

I've had 4 trucks, my wife is on her 4th Lincoln, my kid is on his 2nd mustang and all of us have never used the keypad. Ever.
I have used the keypad a couple of times. Definitely not a deal breaker for me. I am really surprised how big of a deal not having a keypad is for some.

Not a deal breaker as long as the dealer installed option is clean. I prefer not paying for stuff I won’t use. But the Raptor is loaded with stuff I don’t want so this feels like I’m getting bent by Ford. Perception.

I just did exactly what you did. Had a 2022 bought with 18k miles and was totaled. Hopped on to a brand new 2025 37” and man everything is so much better. From the cold starting sound with the option to a quiet start, to the updated tech and smoother ride. Nothing to look back to at all!

Hell yeah. Prob a combination of being new, something was loose on my 2022 suspension, small exaust rattle never fixed right (dealer never able to fix suspension issue too was gonna bring it somewhere else if I didn’t trade) and my 22 I changed To 20 inch fuels with nitros. Handles noticeably better. The hud, sharper screens, and more small features are appreciated.
