I just got a 2022 SD Platinum I travel with my dog. Sometimes I go on appointments that last an hour. How do I leave the truck running with the doors locked? For some reason, it will not lock with the keys in the truck. The 15 minute run time is not enough especialty in FLorida.

Do you have keyless entry? (The number pad on the door?) My 03 Excursion has it, and you can hit the correct key combo and lock the truck from that keypad (and obviously, unlock it). If I hit the switch on the door with the keys in it, it will unlock (Ford has been doing that since the 90’s). But, if I get out with it running (keys in it, I don’t have remote start) it will lock the doors and keep running until it runs out of fuel.

Yes, I can also unlock it from my phone. That is how I did it on my older truck.

I lock my 2018 F250 by leaving the keys in the ignition, hitting the lock button on the key faub with the door open and then just closing the door. I use my keypad to get back in. Try that.

If you have a keypad, you can lock them from the outside with that pad. Not sure on other models, but my 03 Excursion, you hit the last 2 buttons at the same time 7|8 and 9|0 (4 highest numbers) at the same time and it will lock all the doors from the outside. Also, when you unlock them with the code you can unlock just the drivers door by hitting the 1|2 button, and then of you quickly hit the 3|4 button, it will unlock the rest of the doors...

Your owners manual will tell you the sequences to do the lock and unlock from the key-less entry pad.

That must be a pollution thing now. I’ve not heard of that. I know on my older trucks 03 Excursion Diesel and 11 F-150 EcoBoost, they will idle as long as the key is in the run position. I know they will run for hours.
