Exactly. I carry 2 fobs all the time. The BS and my Mach-E both have that same fat fob. Our old Escape fob was at least a little thinner.
I wish they had an option for just a tiny proximity authorization fob. I rarely use the actual buttons.
My tight Wranglers don’t leave much room in the pockets for key fobs.
I was cross shopping Hondas when I bought my BS. Their fobs are maybe about half the size, both in length and thinness.

Does it say BRONCO on the other side? It should.How many different types of fobs are there, and is any one of them better or worse?
23 Heritage, and I got a couple of very basic fobs - unlock, lock, panic and convenience key. I keep seeing threads and pics with other features like remote start or liftgate unlock. Ford going minimalist on fobs? Yes, I have and use the app as well as the b-pillar buttons. Just wondering about the fob evolution.

Apologies, I meant the OP. I wonder if he was given a generic fob.

I'm pretty sure I have the same fob as OP's. Basic. Unlock, lock, panic. I have the Big Bend without the convince package so no remote starting, other than the FordPass app.

Dang! Maybe that’s why everybody asks me if I have a Ford keyfob in the front pockets of my wranglers even when I walk somewhere! ?
I have the 5 button fob too, glad of it because the app never works to remote start. It’s forever telling me it’s disabled to preserve the battery, which I guess I probably don’t drive far. But the fob always works.
