Whats this key for?

[Seahawk51]

It is a duplicate of your the key in your key fob. It locks/unlocks the door, the center console storage, and the lower glove box.

Probably not, but I'm willing to bet that the magnets will still stick to the framework.

Very true

It enables the flux capacitor for time travel.
But never ever under any circumstances set it to 2020.

Looks like the key for the locking device for the under back seat storage area.

 

[bpost]

does the lower glove box lock? maybe for that

This is what I was told it was for.

Use something like this and put it somewhere on your frame. Just make sure it won’t fall off if you his a bump or anything. I had it on one of my older vehicles and it saved me a few times.

Asked my dealer about this because they had to make new physical keys for me. He said only Lariat and above get the spare for the tire and underseat storage etc.
Does that make sense?

Mine was on the upper dash.

Texted my salesman. He said valet key. Ummm, dude, push button start. ? And, valet key is designed to NOT work in anything but door and ignition.

Keyed the same as key in fob. Maybe backup if you lose keys and need one cut. But, computer has that info. So, can only imagine it does give ability to use force on spare tire hole if needed.

So surprised Ford dealers/salesmen don't even know it exists. ?‍

I was told valet key also. It would be interesting to see if you unlock the door with the key would it allow you to use the push button start

I believe there is a chip in the key otherwise it would be useless other than getting in the truck

ok. Good to know. I should just try it

There ain't no chip in that key. Flat piece of metal. It will open the spare tire hole and you can put pressure on it if needed unlike the key in the fob. Only possible thing I can think of.

What key are we talking about? I thought we were talking about the key that you take out of your fob

 

[jeffcrum]

Picture up above. Post 34 has one.

Looks like to key to lock and unlock your back seat where the under seat storage is to keep those things secured.
Looks like the

As written above, unlocks doors, center seat console, lower glove box, spare tire lowering access. Not chipped; simple steel cut key - will not start vehicle.
