Ford has a wide range of key types because the lineup spans budget cars to premium pickups. Mustangs and older Escapes use simple transponder keys ($150). F-150 with push-to-start uses smart proximity keys ($220). Explorers and newer Escapes use remote flip keys ($175).
Ford F-150 is one of the most-stolen vehicle models in the US — which is why Ford's security on newer F-150s is tighter and programming takes 30-45 minutes. We are NASTF-listed for all Ford programming.

- Edge / Escape remote keys lose pairing after car battery replacement — quick fix on-site
