Locking gas cap for 2019 F53 Chassis

I want to add a locking gas cap to my motorhome, at least while in storage. Looking at various auto supply stores hasn't helped since no one references the F53.


Anyone who is using a locking gas cap on the 2019 and earlier F53 please respond with product information.


Thanks!

Just take your gas cap to your local NAPA and they can match it up with one. The one for my 2004 Newmar MADP was from a Chevy truck.

easily defeated

I had one on my 2013 challenger ford f53 for a while. not worth the hassle.
many you tube videos showing how easy it is to get these caps off.
just my two cents.

If they want it bad enough they'll just punch a hole in the tank take what they want let the rest drain on the ground.
