Always my worst nightmare. When we travel I have the main set and the spare set is always either in my wifes purse or in the camper. Learned that lesson once and it stuck.

Just to state the obvious, if this was 1989 and you were at a camp site and threw your keys away you would still be S.O.L. but I suppose you could always break in and hot wire back then.

In 1989 I was 6 years old.

I had other **** goin on.

Any road trip or weekend getaway I always take my two FOBs. I keep on in each front pocket. The first road trip I gave my wife one and the other in my pocket. She put it in her purse. The problem with that is she will leave her purse in the truck when we run into the Convienence store for a soda or snack and the truck will not lock since her fob is in the cab. When I get to my destination I always leave the second fob in the room or cabin we stay in. Losing a fob on a trip is my biggest fear.

Wrap the fob that your wife carries in her purse with aluminum foil. This way the truck will not know it is locked inside. If you lose yours all you need to do is get inside, uconnect is great for unlocking the truck.

I mis-read the OP, thought it said "Lost my job, stuck 3 hours from home".

I did the exact same thing until,I started reading the OP.

Wait, the truck will not lock if there is a fob inside the cab? I'm guessing this is for the idiots (we all have done it) that lock their keys in the truck?

Mine will not lock with the key fob in it if I try to push the door handle button to lock it from the outside. I'm sure my truck isn't special in that way.

You can buy a valet key that has a chip and will start your vehicle after you have them programmed to the truck. I bought 2 for $13.55 here 2 New Uncut Fobik Remote Transponder Ignition Chip Pod Key Blank Valet Emergency | eBay Of course, it cost $76 to have them paired at the dealership but it beats paying for another key fob.
