need spare key PATS?
I searched but still unclear.. When did the trucks get PATS?

My son has a new to us 1997 F250HD and we need to get him a spare key.

Hoping i dont have to go to the dealer for 2 new keys.

Thanks!

IIRC, the F-150 didn't get PATS until 1999 and the SuperDuties didn't get it until 2000. We don't have to worry about it.

SuperDuty came much later - I have owned a 2000 and 2002 SD and neither of them had PATS. I bought a 1997 F150 rollover a few years ago and it didn't have PATS, either.

Well, I know the F150 got it in 99 for sure; the SD I wasn't entirely sure about but I recalled the SD-based Excursion got it in 2000 and figured they'd done it for the SD as well.

I do know that none of the production OBS trucks ever had PATS in the US, so not an issue.

I got new keys cut at the dealer, Home Depot didn't carry our blanks nor did Ace. It was $6 a key with cutting, new ones even have the Ford logo on them (I have a thing about key copies, idk why). Eventually I'll get another remote too, but $70 is quite a bit to cough up for one.

I believe that with AE you can program a PATS key even if you don't have 2 keys FYI.
