Ford’s $200 ‘Truckle’ Belt Buckle for F-150 Key Fobs Sells Out After Launch

The limited-edition piece marks the F-150’s 50th anniversary, pairing hand-finished Western styling with proximity-friendly fob storage.

Overview

  • Ford partnered with Utah silversmith Andy Andrews of A Cut Above Buckles to create the Truckle, a wearable buckle that holds a Ford key fob.
  • The accessory debuted at the Texas State Fair and went on sale online in limited quantities before selling out, with no production count disclosed.
  • Ford says the holder fits key fobs from model year 2018 onward and keeps proximity features active so trucks unlock on approach and lock on walkaway.
  • The buckle is handcrafted from German silver and jeweler’s bronze with an engraved 1975 F-150 design, reflecting the pickup’s 50-year milestone.
  • Andrews describes the retention system as relying on gravity, a small lip, and a locking fixture, leaving the fob visible only from the backside.
