Ford is continuing to offer the beloved SecuriCode keyless entry keypad on its all-electric 2025 F-150 Lightning, providing a familiar and convenient access option for many customers. While the trend in the automotive industry has seen a reduction in factory-installed keypads, Ford has listened to its customer base and is keeping this handy feature available on two popular Lightning trims, ensuring easy and secure entry without the need for a physical key or phone.

The recently launched online configurator for the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning reveals that both the Lariat and Platinum trims will come equipped with the SecuriCode keypad directly from the factory. This will be welcome news for buyers of these well-appointed models who appreciate the added convenience and security this feature provides. For those opting for the Pro, XLT, or new Flash trims, the SecuriCode keypad remains an accessible option as a dealer-installed accessory, priced at $225 USD. This ensures that all 2025 F-150 Lightning customers have the ability to enjoy keyless entry.

The retention of the SecuriCode keypad on select Lightning trims sets it apart from some other Ford models, such as the 2024 Maverick and Escape, which have seen the factory-installed option removed. Even the gasoline-powered 2025 Ford F-150 now offers it as a dealer-installed feature only. This decision to keep the factory-installed keypad on the Lightning Lariat and Platinum trims underscores Ford’s commitment to catering to the preferences of its EV truck buyers.

The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning also boasts other exciting updates, including the stylish new Dark Elements appearance package for the Platinum trim, enhanced BlueCruise 1.4 for a smoother hands-free driving experience, and an improved maximum DC fast charging capability of 500 amps. With production now underway, the 2025 F-150 Lightning continues to offer a compelling blend of electric power, advanced technology, and convenient features like the enduring SecuriCode keypad on select models.
