As an update, it turns out I have remote start, but not keyless start. The owner’s manual explains both on the same page, and it confused me. I only have one oem key capable of remote start, the second one is a cheapie.

As to carmax remedying it: To make a long story short, the truck was transferred from North Carolina to Tampa FL. Tampa branch tells me they gave me what North Carolina branch sent with the truck. The North Carolina branch states they are no longer in possession of any of the keys.

It looks like I have to purchase an oem Remote start capable key on my own and program it myself. Thanks to all who posted.

All 2015, 16 and 17 have remote start built in to the PCM. If you don't have the 5 button remote with the start button on it you will need to get the keys.
If you have 2 factory keys you can program them yourself,
If you only have one you will either have to learn to use Forscan and program them yourself or pay for dealer to do it...it's not cheap but if you have the coin go for it.

I have a 2017 with two factory keys. I purchased two more keys that have the remote start button on them. Where can I get a copy of the instructions on how to to program the the new keys with the remote start button on them to function?

There's a thread in here somewhere, just search the thread I followed is called "how to add remote start using forscan"
