Hey all! New owner and member here Learning the ins and outs!

Current question... is there a way to lock the rear liftgate from the outside of the vehicle? So after you have grabbed your gear and are ready to walk away, is there a button to lock the vehicle? Or do you have to go around to a door? Mildly inconvenient

There is a lock button right next to the tailgate close button but that’s the nearest place to lock it. Also you can lock the car via the door handles too.

Lock button right beside the close hatch button. Also a lock on your fob.
Welcome and congratulations on your new 2025!

If you push that lock button will the entire truck lock when the liftgate closes?
