2025 Ford Expedition Retains Factory Keyless Entry Keypad
Posted on December 22, 2024
Ford enthusiasts who appreciate the convenience of the SecuriCode keyless entry keypad may have noticed a recent trend: Ford has been removing the factory-installed keypads from many of its models, offering them instead as dealer-installed options. This shift has impacted popular models like the Ford Ranger, F-150, Explorer, Super Duty, Maverick, and Escape, limiting the convenience of unlocking a vehicle without a key or smartphone. However, the all-new 2025 Ford Expedition stands out as an exception to this trend, with the factory-installed SecuriCode keypad still available on most trims, catering to those who value this easy-access feature.
In the 2025 Ford Expedition lineup, the SecuriCode keypad comes standard across all trims except for the Expedition Active. Buyers interested in the Active trim can still get this feature through the optional 202A Active Touring Edition Equipment Group. For $4,215 USD, this package not only includes the keypad but also a wide range of premium features like Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0, a panoramic vista roof, ActiveX seating, Intelligent Access, a wireless charging pad, dual 400W AC power outlets, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and more. This setup provides additional comfort, convenience, and tech enhancements for those opting into this upgrade.
The 2025 Expedition’s retention of the factory-installed keypad makes it unique among Blue Oval’s offerings, which have largely moved away from this feature. For many Ford owners, the keypad is more than a convenience—it's an essential part of Ford’s identity that combines practicality with peace of mind. Keeping this feature standard on the Expedition indicates that Ford continues to recognize its value, even as they shift toward alternative access technologies in other models.
Beyond retaining the SecuriCode keypad, the 2025 Ford Expedition brings a host of new updates that make it stand out in Ford's lineup. Recently redesigned, it sports fresh styling and a split rear liftgate, with a completely revamped interior featuring a striking 24-inch panoramic display that functions as the instrument cluster, paired with a 13.2-inch center screen. However, all these enhancements come at a premium, as the 2025 Expedition is priced higher than its predecessors, reflecting the comprehensive upgrades and added features Ford has included.
