New (used) Ranger PU truck, I bought it used. I screwed up when making the deal, just assumed there were two keys. If I had realized that, a 2nd key included would have been part of the deal. Nope, just one.
Went to local Ford dealer, they said about $170 to program the 2nd key since I only have one. If I had two keys, I could program addtl keys myself. Owners manual states the same.
I hear locksmiths can make chipped keys. Anyone ever have that done? Any cost savings?
Of course I can always stash the one key close by the steering wheel and use regular keys to start it. But I'd really like to have a 2nd key w/o doing that.
Thanks, in advance.
