Push start buttom on ford raptor?

[chiefy]

I asked the dealer about this and his reply was "they don't put on push button starts because you don't want yo be in the middle of no where's and it fails" idiot... my charger and Durango has it. You ca n pop off the cap and use the little key in the remote...idiot sales people. It's 2014 and a 60k truck I expect push start and keyless entry!!!!

still working on something.......

How's that going? Unless it was an easy, cheap mod it'd be further down my "to do" list, however knowing it's a possibility would be cool.

Ignition switches can fail too...keys break...lose their security code...get lost... if this salesman had his way, maybe we could just go back to the days of toggle switches and screw drivers.

did you see the new 2015 F150 - looks like they have it now.

 

[Reptar]

yup looks like the 2015 has it from the interior photos.

our sport has it and it's great. got used to it so quickly now when I go from driving that to driving the Raptor I'm always tugging on the door handle expecting it to unlock, and going to push the dash to find no button and gotta dig my keys out lol

Yeah, I never thought about it. But the Escape has it and you quickly get used to not having to fish your keys out of your pocket. I really miss it when I drive the Raptor.

I have two cars with it, wife loves it as she doesn't have to dig trough the purse for keys.

Hey need to take it to the next inevitable step and eliminate keys completely, just have your phone RFID/Bluetooth/wifi connect with car and authorize drive.

push button start system

Easygo has a system that looks like it should work for the Raptor. It functions the same as the OEM systems, and includes a replacement door handle that unlocks when you touch it. I thought push button start was a gimmick until having it on our '14 Subaru Outback. It is awesome, especially in cold weather, never having to dig the keys out of your pocket. I don't know how tricky the install is, or how reliable the Easygo system is, but it is available, and seems full-featured. It's about $600 on Amazon. Here's a link to the '09-'13 F-150 product. Easy GO

I've never added a video to a post before, so apologies if this doesn't work right.

Issue with the easy go is that on the raptor we have the 4x4 controls where they put the Push Start Button

They move the 4x4 controls over to where the 12v outlet is on the passenger side of the center console.
