That's crazy, I didn't even think that was possible. Maybe it was just a fluke.

Another idea, I have a magnetic key box with just the door key hidden under my truck. “Just in case!!”
I believe it came with my truck when I bought it new. That is the key I have in a box under the truck.Where'd you get a "door key"?

Not the key that you can remove from the FOB. It’s like a regular flat key with a plastic cover embossed with the Ram logo.The valet key that’s stored in the fob? I believe if it were me, I’d get just a regular copy made of that key to hide somewhere and then leave the other in the fob.

Does that include the proximity in the door handles? As in no touching of the remote necessary if the remote is in your pocket, you just touch the handle and it unlocks? I might be wrong, but I believe that was more what Jake was referring to, rather than just the push button start.
All 5th gens now have push button start I believe, but do they all have the proximity handles as well?
NO, depending upon trim level what U get. I got Bighorn with Level 2 options, but no proximity ne thing, but that also works for me
. And no key locks for tailgate, all electronic...,
it will lock while running, sit in your car while running with the key inside and hit door locks it will lock. locked them in on the beach 4e wheelingimpossible to lock fob in truck with a prox fob
I have a 2020 1500 Laramie and this morning I stepped out of the vehicle with the key fob and my cell phone inside the cab of the truck. I did not press any lock/unlock buttons....I just got out of the truck and closed the door. The truck has an automatic lock function.....even with the fob inside the cab the truck locked. The truck would not unlock by touching the door handles (I tried all 4 doors and tailgate). I had to contact my wife and get her to download the UConnect app and log into it using my information.....she was able to remote unlock the door so I could get back inside. Very valuable lesson learned today......
After getting my fob locked inside of my truck a couple of times I made a copy of the fob key and hid it in a magnetic box. Been locked out a few times since due to all the conditions described in this thread, but thanks to that hidden key I was saved.
I have since installed a locking fuel door. So the magnetic box now has my fuel door key. The fob door key is velcroed to the roof of the fuel compartment. This way if someone finds my magnetic box they won't have a door key, they'll have a key that they may not know what if fits. If they find it fits the fuel door I'm hoping they won't find the hidden door key.
