Hey Guys,
Does anyone know if the new F-150 has an unlock on approach feature? Similar to the running downs coming out on approach.

Yes but only if you press the unlock button on the remote.
Darn. My fusion had the sensors in the back doors as well. I miss that feature especially with loading kids in the back seat.

I just reach the two foot forward and touch the front handle before I touch the rear handle

Yes, on the Platinum, it has the approach function. You get close to the truck with a key in your possession and the running boards drop and some welcome lights come on. You can disable it also.

Is that this (on lariat): “Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start (incl. Approach Detection…”

@Just Me I have the platinum and the lights come on and the running boards drop on approach but I can’t seem to figure out how to get the doors to unlock on approach. Other than pushing the putting or grabbing the handle.

Sorry, I put my hand on the door handle to unlock.

I don't have to make contact with the door handle, just bring my hand close to the grip position, then it unlocks - either side, front doors only - Lariat 501A - it's been that way since delivery; I've changed nothing
