Naw, just a quick exit in case of a accident, the door opens automatically for you to get out.

Ford Recalls 1 Million F-150 Trucks for Fuel Strap

Ford, based in Dearborn, Michigan, said the recall covers 1.1 million pickup trucks, including F-150s from model years 1997 to 2004; F-250s from model years 1997 to 1999; and Lincoln Blackwoods from model years 2002 to 2003.

The company said it will notify owners of affected vehicles in mid-September and make repairs at no cost. If replacement straps aren’t available when the recall repairs are done, the company said it may install a cable support under the fuel-tank strap as an interim repair
