The Ford Truckle Belt Buckle Key Holder – The Most American Thing Since the F-150

Ford is marking the 50th anniversary of the F-150 in a way that’s a little bit rustic, a lot practical, and unmistakably American. The automaker teamed up with A Cut Above Buckles—a boutique metal accessory workshop—to create the Truckle, a handcrafted belt buckle designed to hold a Ford key fob.

The Truckle is the work of Andy Andrews, a former rodeo champion, longtime F-Series truck owner, and the official buckle maker for the International Rodeo Association. His shop, A Cut Above Buckles, has been producing custom silver and bronze belt buckles for decades, but it’s hard to imagine a commission quite this big.

Each Truckle features a detailed engraving of the F-150’s front end, complete with the iconic blue oval proudly displayed on the truck’s license plate. Just below that sits the year “1975,” marking the debut of the F-150. But the Truckle isn’t just for show. It’s engineered with a small metal mount that securely holds a truck’s key fob, letting you clip it onto your belt before you head out for the day. And you won’t need to take it off until you’re home again—after finishing your cattle run, naturally.

Your Ford will recognize the fob, allowing full use of keyless entry and push-button start. You can even press the buttons on the fob—assuming, of course, you haven’t had so many beers that you can’t hit the right one.

Although the Truckle-buckle combo was created to celebrate the F-150’s golden anniversary, it works just as well with keys from a Mustang, Bronco, or any Ford made since 2018. Priced at $200 (plus $34 for an extra belt), the first batch sold out almost immediately. Ford fans clearly couldn’t resist. The company promises more models are on the way, so there’s still a chance to show off your Ford pride.

It’s such a good idea that if A Cut Above doesn’t expand it to other brands like Chevrolet or RAM, someone else almost certainly will.
