Hi and Thank you for your help….. I have had a few lariats in the past. Now I have a 2022 XLT. I overlooked that the XLT did not have a push button start when I ordered it seven months ago. I am wondering if myself or the dealer can convert it to push button start? I do have remote start on my key fob If that matters. Thanks for your help…………………………………………UPDATE: Per the page 2 video, it is approximately $1200 for all parts and pieces and labor.

Don't belive it is possible. Also if it were me I'd prefer the key ignition over the push button start.
The four automobiles in our family all have push button starts except for the Ranger. I guess in time I will probably get used to it but it’s aggravating right now. Not sure if the dealer would be the one to talk to to see if this is possible to do.

You'll probably want to consider independent shops that have extensive electrical expertise.

I did come across this site, although I did minimal research, might steer you in the right direction.

Lets say you have your vehicle decide to run out of control(well atleast do nothing if you.hit the brakes) just turn the damn key off and you are set. With push button it doesnt always do that if you are moving.

Ok.

But that sounds a tad irrational to me.

When's the last time you've heard of runaway vehicles?

And I'm not talking about floormats here.

Ok, let’s just all get along here, lol. I was just really hoping I could take it into a dealer and have them convert it. And I was hoping maybe somebody here has done it or know of somebody that has done it.

I think that's remote start.

This is the push button start.

Dealership is the last place you'll want to go.
