Ford Ranger key replacement and programming
Ranger was sold through 2011, then returned for 2019 as a different mid-size truck. Older Rangers use PATS keys; newer ones use a flip key or Intelligent Access.
Ranger key systems by model year
Year ranges follow Ranger generations and are approximate. Trim, build date and factory options can change the system within a year, so we confirm it from your VIN before dispatch.

Lost every Ranger key?
If no working key remains, we can program a new key to most Ford vehicles at the car. Many Fords add a timed security wait during programming, so an All Keys Lost job takes longer than a spare. We confirm your system from the VIN first.

Important compatibility notice — final key compatibility must be confirmed
The key images, vehicle models, and year ranges shown on this page are provided as a general identification guide and may not apply to every vehicle. The manufacturer may use different key systems within the same model year depending on trim level, production date, manufacturing location, ignition type, and factory equipment. Final compatibility must be confirmed using the vehicle’s VIN, ignition type, existing key or fob, and vehicle information before service. The images are representative examples and do not guarantee an exact visual match.
A current registration or title and matching government-issued photo identification must be verified before automotive key, lock, or immobilizer service is performed.
