The key dying and getting home part makes sense. Annoying part for me here in winter land is not being able to easily warm truck in driveway and lock it. It will not stay locked if you open door and lock it and shut door etc. FOB will not lock doors from outside when its running. Only trick I found is to roll down window, get out, push lock from outside thru open window and then pull up on auto roll up window switch (dont get arm caught). The. you have to use physical key to enter as the fob will no longer unlock when its running and locked.
Smart key button starting and touch door handle unlock is handy, but man I miss the ol regular physical key.

At least in the 2022, if the truck is started with the fob, once the door opens, it shuts the car off. I find this very annoying, but I guess it is better than it being stolen. Side note, my 2016 Mustang would only travel about 50' away from the fob before displaying a warning and shutting off.

The key fob is for disabling the starter . Once u start the truck u can drive away . It’s not designed to shut the truck down . Once u shut it off it will not start till the fob is within range .
