Your sure you can't disable it in the menu ? I think they have an option to enable/disable the remote open tailgate or the button, in the menu... hmmmmm

Yes - Only vehicles with "Power Tailgate" can be disabled. I do not have the power tailgate. The following is for power tailgates:

Thanks but that's not going to work with a tonneau cover.

If you thought about it a little bit, I would bet you could manage it.

Ok... that could be a good feature to be add in the futur with an update of Sync software or something else like that... I'm pretty sure this feature could be added in the software, to close the signal going to the button relay and desactivate it. Ford need to be inform and work on it!

That's what I was thinking. Would be great if it could be added via update.

Wow, just received delivery of my 2022 Power Boost and glad you guys figured this out. All the rest of the folks assume we have a Power Tailgate, not just a remote release tailgate. I spent 25 minutes clicking around Sync 4 like the power tailgate guys said. Ford really needs to send out a software fix for this! The unplug the tailgate feature under the bumper seems like a crappy solution. Looks like I need to be really careful.

It's less than ideal but this is what I am going with until I can come up with a better solution.

But does that block you from using your beer bottle opener?
