No locking fuel door on the Raptor?

I was at the dealer and was looking at the 2019 Raptors.

I noticed the vehicles were fully locked up but I was able to open the fuel door on the side. I was also able to push the little flap in. So, if I wanted to, I could pour anything I wanted into the fuel tank (or rather, some criminal could).

Fuel doors and gas caps have been securely locked on pretty much all cars since what, the 80s?

Why would Ford leave the fuel door open and unlocked for potential vandalism, especially in today's world?

Any thoughts?

corporate cost savings- I know it seems crazy !

Does any one have a solution for this?...

Many cars/trucks do not have locking gas doors/caps and if someone wants to f**k with your ride, they will do so regardless. That being said, Ford does sell a locking gas cap for those that feel it's needed.

I wonder if tampering with the fuel fill will trigger the shock sensor.

Ya, it would be nice to have a locking fuel door. Then some a$$hat would just stuff a couple cantaloupes in the tailpipe.

If they want to save money, how about not providing the stupid 1970s radio antenna that everyone has to remove/replace just so you can get into any garage without it smacking across the ceiling!

Yeah I don't get it. I've never owned a vehcile, or know of anyone owning a vehicle, where the fuel door wasn't locked or at least did not have a locking gas cap.

Pretty ridiculous.

I buy a new truck every 2-3 years and I've never owned a truck that came with a locking gas cap or fuel door.

Get the locking fuel cap accessory from Ford and worry about your future coffee order at Starbucks OP.

Last I knew nobody made a locking gas cap for a 13th gen F150. They make them for 12th gens (2009-2014).

This works as a deterrent at least........locking fuel door
