Bought the truck used in June. Came with one key. They want nearly 400 bucks for an additional KEY!! What are my options?

Normally I'd say local locksmith (I think I paid less than $80 for a 2015 Jeep) but 2018 has the secure gateway so that might not be an option anymore. Can't hurt to ask though.

I needed a 2nd key for my 2015 Jeep & the local Ace Hardware store did it with the programming for $150 which still is BS but a whole lot less than $400 worth of BS

I’ve bought mine from Keyless Joe on EBay for $49.95 each, it’ll be more for remote start type, these are OEM keys, never programmed. Don’t buy the China knockoffs from Ebay or Amazon, they’re not dependable. I used a auto locksmith that had the scanner tool to retrieve your code and then he programmed two keys for $160. The dealership is a ripoff with this IMHO. Good luck.

No second key is the sign of a repo.
Go back to the seller and find out why no second key.
Quite often people that stop payments also stop giving any due care to the vehicle.

I have purchased extra keys from
IKEYLESS and from Carandtruck Remote

both were much cheaper than the dealerships

Finding a locksmith with a programmer is not difficult

Ace Hardware does not do it right now, they were told by Duracell Batteries & 2 other companies to stop until the Covid virus is handled.

I found several companies that would program the FOB & cut the blank Valet key for $90, if i had my own.

One place told me that for the same service, they charge $45
