Do Ford trucks come with remote start?

Ford Trucks and Remote Start
Ford trucks may come equipped with a remote start system that allows you to start the ignition from up to 300 feet away. The remote start button is located on the key fob transmitter, and it allows you to start the engine without entering the vehicle. This feature can help adjust your vehicle’s interior to a comfortable temperature before you even get inside. If your Ford vehicle is equipped with a remote-operated starter, you can start the vehicle remotely by pressing a button on the key fob. The system can also be configured to enable Quiet Start, which reduces noise by not sounding the horn and running the blower fan at a lower speed. Additionally, the run time for remote start can be extended for another duration according to how long it was initially programmed to last [[5]].
If a Ford vehicle doesn’t currently have a remote start system, it can be installed by certified service team members at a Ford dealership. Remote start systems are relatively inexpensive and can be installed in as little as one day.
For those interested in aftermarket options, it’s possible to install a remote start system on a Ford F-150 even if it didn’t come with one originally.

Some aftermarket systems also have built-in security features. The installation can be relatively easy, and there are plug-and-play designs available for specific Ford models.
