Oxford White Base 2-Door with keypad and mud flaps (off production line)

[Squatch]

So when a thief breaks in they can now take you vehicle with the keys. Why people lock their keys in a vehicle baffles me.

You don't surf or go to nude beaches, do you?

Yuck it’s the stick on kind! Cross that option off my list!

Unless there is room for it in the fuel filler door

Most likely the same part that Ranger had.

Note: this must be said three times as the part manufacturer recalled and replaced the unit during Ranger's initial build, then later recalled. And now the replacement, replacement unit has a TSB.

We have gone through 3 batteries in the keypad in the past year and it has become so questionable in it's operation that last weekend while backpacking we chose not to trust the keypad and used the key instead.

Frankly, I would not trust this part to function properly from whoever is making it for Ford. It should be off many peoples lists due to it's shoddy operation.

I know it’s a real low point for the vehicles that don’t have it integrated on the side of the window as touch sensors.

Maybe that key pad has to be on the door in some way. But the could of made the black plastic looking material body color.

I think it's just a cheap way to sell 40 year old crap as un "upgrade."

If I were savy enough to post images you'd see the side of a 1980 thunderbird here.

I like the minimalist appearance, but I don't like all the different colors...gray top, black flares, silver wheels, gray grill. White wheels with color coordinated top/flares/grill would be perfect.

Actually it looks like they integrated it better on the 1980 Thunderbird!
I believe it is in the lower window trim. I couldn't find pictures where it is visible from the side off the car.

That's it!

I forgot it was in the trim on those!

Looks pretty clean!

Surf & scuba dive. Diving I use a small pelican case. Surf I use a waterproof pouch.

I'm always afraid that I'd lose either of those in the ocean. I've lost everything but the wetsuit I was wearing at one time or another, lol.

I see a keypad!

The scuzzy low rent version.

Yep, looks pretty much the evolution of the 1980 Thunderbird.

Thanks for proving my point.

Seems like the location/look of the keypad would be moot when you take the doors and top off

I think that 2-door base, with 2.3L and 6MT, would be an awesome dirt road runabout. Especially roofless!

Looks pretty cheap for a $30k truck.

Barf on that key pad. What a horrible design option for a car worked up from scratch.

 

[Lab00Rat]

Is it possible that this is the "Base" keypad? I'm holding out hope for a better keypad on the upper trims.
