Hi Dave, I just got a 2020 PIU with 3.3L AWD and Hybrid. Looking forward to some good mileage (and this thing is FAST!). I have the three button PIU fob (I just bought an extra, trying to get it programmed- having trouble with that- Batteries Plus is supposed to be able to do it, but no luck so far), but here's the deal with the trunk unlock.Got my 2020 PIU which has the "ready for the road" package.....by Ford wisdom, this option includes the rear door hardware delete which I can live with but.......what's new to me is that it also has appeared to disable the rear hatch power switch so you can only open the hatch with the key......anyone know how hard that is to undo smartly? Nothing in the upfitters guide!

The blue hatch button on the fob is to unlock the hatch, but I believe it only unlocks it for about 15 seconds (you still have to push the latch button on the hatch to open it). My nephew's work car is also a 2020 (Will Co., IL Sheriff) and he has a separate button on his overhead panel that does the same thing (I do not have that button).
BTW, the PIU fob seems to be unique, available online for $45, but the local Ford dealer wants $156 to program it.
