[detansinn]

Ford is choosing to call it the "Truckle" versus the obvious Fob Buckle conjugation.

Is it April already?

PS Ford has nothing to do with this object (edit maybe they authorized it but its really hard to tell)

Pretty clearly says designed with Ford.

You do realize that the buckle just has a cavity where the standard Ford fob sits in. The buckle itself is not a fob.

I love it, but I'm also confused. How do you push the buttons on it while it's in the buckle? I assume the only thing it's really good for is putting it near your truck so it'll unlock when you grab the door handle and start when you push the dash button.

Correct. I haven’t pushed a button on my fob since I received the update that enabled walkaway lock.

I know what everyone's thinking on the name...or maybe it's just me.

A truckle might be good for a chuckle, but IMO paying $200 for this makes you a dumb fuckle...

I should buy this for my wife.

 

[richguy82]

I’m in…as long as I can wear it with shorts.

They might as well make some Bluetooth underwear.
