There are people who can put a new blade in it and then you can cut it for your new truck

As long as the part numbers are the same you can replace the blade, have it cut and program it to your 2018 flip key fob.

i bought blades from eBay. Replaced the blade on a spare 2016 F150XLT I traded in. Had it cut at the ford dealer and programmed it to my 2017 F350 Lariat.

Honest.
