Default Trunk release button on 05+...is there one?

Ive have searched the glove box, the arm rest iniards, and nothing! Do we have to use keyless remote to open, or do i have to use the key to open it up?

When I bought my 07 I had my sales guy looking high and low for nearly 20 mins for the trunk release before I finally told him "there isn't one....isn't Ford stupid?" *good times*

Not one on the 05s, 06s, 07s and prob. not 08s either.

Here is the thread I bookmarked so that I can put one in my car in the furue. It wil seldom get used but it would be cool to have.

You can use both or install thebutton as mentioned above. I installed the
trunk release button but opted for a different momentary push button switch.
Radio shack has a few to choose from. The one in the article was too tall
and when I closed the glovebox, it hit the button and popped the trunk. Look
forone that has a round button...it's a lower profile.
