Same here on my 2025 Job 1 Flash.

I just wish the rear door handles had the same sensors as the front.
Right with you there! Someone has probably done it. A pair of front handles and some wiring to each front door from the back would do it I'd bet. It's not too far into my pocket to get the button or just deal with hitting the front door first.

The doors don’t unlock when you get nearby but the truck does “wake-up” and gets ready to unlock when it senses the key fob nearby (at least in Lariat trim).

My 22 Lariat will unlock by touching rear door handles. It may have to do with PAAK (but it also works with just the fob). I know from the service manual - all four door handles have antennas.

Rear door handle functions were removed in later years. I think it was 2024, not for certain.

My vehicle dashboard advanced settings menu also allows me to turn this function on or off, along with WAL and Frunk/tailgate open/close by fob or windows down by fob. I drive a ‘25 Lariat so it might be a new option… idk.

I had to enable it. It was in the display menu, not using Forscan.
Our '25 Flash does not have WAL. I couldn't find it in the display menus anywhere. Do you recall which menu it was in? TIA!

Looked there in ours, but didn't find it. 🫤

Mine does. Is your Flash a Job 1 or Job 2 2025? Asked another way, do you have a 131 kWh or 123 kWh battery?
Job 2. Probably explains why it’s not available. Would be nice to have, but not the end of the world.
