They're over you, I'm sure.For the price coming out of B&P, a fuel door that locks when the truck is locked is not a unreasonable expectation. I am not worried about someone stealing fuel. I am worried about ex-girlfriends.

Jeep Gladiator is the same as well as the Challenger. Our Pacifica was same way and it had a cap-less filler too.2020 Explorer, with intelligent access, just check the fuel door with vehicle locked and key inside house, opened right up.
2019 GMC Canyon, basic key fob entry..same result
I don't want to carry another key with me. Yeah, I could leave it in the car and get it out when I fill the thing up, but I'll just take my chances.For FORD Easy Fuel/Fill locking gas plug/cap.
I have seen the inside of every fuel door on every vehicle I have ever owned filled with snow and or dust. I do not want that **** in my fuel tank. And no, a little flap in the filler is not going to stop it.Why? ...
I have zero concerns. ...
Ive never had a tank that locked in any sort of way. Anecdotal...but no one has ever dumped anything in it.How is this considered ok? Anyone could walk right up and easily dump something into your gas tank...
So what about us jeep owners that havent had a fuel door ever and get snow, rain & mud built up around the gas cap? Just a regular cap.I have seen the inside of every fuel door on every vehicle I have ever owned filled with snow and or dust. I do not want that **** in my fuel tank. And no, a little flap in the filler is not going to stop it.
I will happily deal with twisting a cap on and off to prevent water and rock grit from getting into my fuel system.
This is a system designed to appease people who won't go off road on an ostensibly off-road vehicle.
Agreed. Same for catalytic converters...Why? I'd hate to have a locking key-access fuel door or cap on a keyless/intelligent access/touch start vehicle the last thing I want to have to do is pull the key out of the fob. My 05 Wrangler doesn't even have a fuel door or locking cap on it, my f150 has a button operated fuel door and no fuel cap & my wife's grand Cherokee has a button operated fuel door and no fuel cap. Heck, my camper doesn't have a locking cap for diesel or the fresh water tanks.
I have zero concerns. If someone needs fuel that bad, then have at it. If someone has a psycho ex that will pour contaminants into your tank, then you need more than a locking fuel door or cap.
I would presume you use common sense and clean that junk away before opening it, to avoid contaminating your fuel?So what about us jeep owners that havent had a fuel door ever and get snow, rain & mud built up around the gas cap? Just a regular cap.
I've never seen snow inside the fuel door on my vehicles, particularly the ones with capless fuel tanks. The capless fuel tank needs to seal as tightly as a regular model in order to meet EPA regulations. That means no vapor escape at all. If vapor cannot escape, snow cannot enter. Do not worry yourself over non-existent issues.I have seen the inside of every fuel door on every vehicle I have ever owned filled with snow and or dust. I do not want that **** in my fuel tank.
