Ford had the forethought to reduce the temptation of gas theft from these Rangers because they built them with teeny tiny gas tanks. No self respecting thief would waste the time stealing gas from a Ranger. ?

It may be a solution to the evaporative emissions codes which are WAY too common on Fords with that stupid filler cap.
I would doubt it would seal enough to prevent the evap leak codes.

Retired, work is a four letter word.
Stupid hurts! I hope the 5 gal of gas he was trying to get was worth all of the 2Âş burns he likely got.

IME it’s better if someone siphons your gas instead of destroying your truck to open the door or pry off the cap.

That's true about anything you buy, I didn't buy one. I was just putting it out there, because I saw so many questions about a locking gas cap. Won't be posting anymore stuff.
The ignore button is awesome.

I was about to do the same then I removed a few people from my feed and ... No more issues.

I wish Ford would have just made the fuel door where you have to unlock it from inside vehicle like my car does...most people will go to easier pickings
My 93 Pathfinder has a lever by the drivers seat you have to push in order to open the gas door. If manufacturers would stay with this idea it would be awesome in my opinion. The electric ones can still have problems over the cable ones.

I sure wish the Ranger had the lever or push button. Better than being able to press the door open and then no fuel cap lock
