With key and programming you should be able to have the dealership do it for 500.00 or so.

I bought 2 on eBay, had them cut at a local hardware store & programmed them.

That works and is the cheapest option, it however requires two working keys which the OP doesn't have.

Sorry to hear that but you’re going to have to open up your wallet for this situation.

If you go through a Ford dealer or a locksmith that has the proper equipment, you’re going to be out of several hundred dollars.

I've reprogrammed several keys for steel body 6.7's using Forscan. I'm not sure if it can do the 17' and newer keys.

Reputable Locksmith

I lost one of my fobs also. Flip key style. Locksmiths sell the factory fobs. I bought a new Ford OEM fob from a locksmith. Fob, cut the key and program it was $300. Took him 20 minutes for everything.
