Nothing came up using the Search regarding this particular question:

I have a 2021 Tremor XLT. Can I remote start my Ranger using my FordPass app on my phone even though my truck did not come with a Remote Start key FOB?

The "Start" Button is front and center on the FordPass app and it looks enabled (not grayed out). I would hate to push this button on the App and break something or have the truck start and I can't shut it off using the Keys in the ignition.

You sure can. You have to hold it for a couple seconds for it to activate but it works along with the lock/unlock.

works with an XLT too.

my personal favorite and kinda of annoyed feature is scheduled start.

when I get up in the morning I set it to start a few minutes before I have to leave for work. I do drop off for the kids and it is much easier having a warm truck to buckle them into. and it is on less thing to deal with in the rush to get out the door.

FordPass will work as long as the truck and your phone have cell reception. Mine takes awhile to start at the house but will not work at all at work .

I have remote start on my key fob but I use the ford pass app to start my truck at the end of the day at work. The hanger I work in is too far away from the parking lot for the FOB to work

And it will turn itself off after fifteen minutes if you don’t put the key in by then.

Retired, work is a four letter word.
I prefer the voice activated start/stop lock/unlock function on my iphone using shortcuts, just simple "Siri, start my truck" does the deed

I set the Siri Shortcuts up also works great.
