I just got a new Ford, and I’m curious if anyone can guess which one it is. I’ll share more details soon .
It’s crazy that it has the same key fob as the Ford Focus lol
@AlbertMark
Can I get a ride in it

My 97 Explorer has the same one.
Most Fords from the 90s to 2010 had pretty similar key fobs. We even rented a brand-new box truck last year, and its fob still looked almost identical, except it didn’t have a trunk button.
@Tyson
The early 90s ones had square plastic buttons, but around 1998, they switched to rubber buttons. It’s wild how consistent the design was though.

Yeah, I’ve got a 95 Town Car and a Mark VIII, and both have that same fob. It must’ve been standard by then.
@Tyson
Interesting! The ones I know from the 90s looked like this key fob. I guess they switched to the rubber buttons earlier on some models.
@Wyatt
It’s possible mine aren’t original, but they’re branded FoMoCo, so I’m pretty sure they are.
@Tyson
The Transit Connect from 2002 to 2013 had an odd egg-shaped fob with round buttons because it also had to hold the Tibbey key. That’s one of the few exceptions.
@Tyson
Even the 2025 Police Interceptors still use the same style of fob.

My 97 Explorer has the same one.
My 2005 Taurus has that same key fob too.

Yep, that’s the one for my 2005 Taurus as well.

Pretty much all Fords from 1999 to 2009 had the same fob. That includes the Five Hundred, Taurus, Escape, Edge, Fusion, and more.
Is it a 2014 Ford Focus with the Powershift DCT transmission?

No, but that does sound fun. Focuses are great cars.

That version of the Focus is only fun if you enjoy yelling at one of the worst automatic transmissions Ford ever made.
Could it be a '98 Escort?

Let me know if you find one… I’d love to grab one myself.

Not even close
Is it a GT?
