Cancel the order. It will not fit. I had one leftover (same part number) from my 2012 GT and it does not fit the 15-17s.

It says it will not fit 2018. But, if a reviewer said it fit a 2015-2017, then it should fit a 2018. Let us know. Thanks.

I live in the country and it's always parked inside. But, anywhere you go, kids do stupid things. I'm not worried about $40 worth of gas, it's more like a $10K engine if someone wants to be a dick. My F-150 has the original capless filler system, and Stant makes a nice locking plug for it. A key on my key ring and another under the mat. I've never had a problem fueling in 5 years. For $20-$30, it's a no brainer to deter any type of mischief.

Ford doesn't offer one for the S550. Also, just FYI, the ones Ford does offer for other vehicles are very easily defeated. If you just pull up on them slightly as you turn the cap, they loosen. It's more of an "honest vandal" deterrent.

well, after reading some reviews here and on Amazon where some people said it fit, I bought one and can verify it DOES NOT fit my 16. Blew 23 bucks. Thanks to the dumb&%$^s who said it fit.

Amazon should take it back.

thanks, they will, I was just debating whether it was worth my time or not but I did decide to send it back.

Ridiculous

So the "security" package I bought was locking lug nuts and center console? Seems expensive. I've had several cars with inside fuel door releases but not this one and Ford doesn't even make one for the 6gen?

Well there is clearly aftermarket demand. I would buy a locking gas cap to reduce the chance of vandalism. Prefer a locking fuel door over a locking gas cap but whatever works.

I was able to find one for 100% of the cars I searched for but ours. Fords new filler neck must be problematic for the Stant company.

I think the security package also includes a locking steering column.

How about a locking butt plug, that might get a good grip.

I don't know which is more disturbing... that such a thing exists or that you so readily knew where to find a picture.:eyebulge:
