Ford and A Cut Above Buckles are introducing the Raptor Truckle, a custom belt buckle featuring a Raptor grille design and a space to hold a Ford key fob. The product will be available for purchase across the United States beginning November 10, 2026.
Why it matters
This partnership aims to provide a functional accessory specifically for Ford Raptor owners who want to integrate their vehicle key fobs into their apparel. The design reflects a collaboration between the automaker and a traditional Western goods manufacturer.
