Welcome to the site..
Company to supply the kit, or install/both?
Id stay with the Ford offerings..
Ford offers their standard one button fob kit AL2Z-19G364-A, or better yet their Bi Direction Remote Start for start/stop fob lighted conformations, panic/car find included. Kit AG1Z-19G364-A .
May requirer PATS kits
Sourcing a kit on the net, eBay etc, tends be be a better value...

I did look at the FORD option but it requires the dealer to install it, and it its pretty prices. Looking for some affordabble
options. I saw these
1. MPC 2380 Factory Fob Activated Remote Start Kit for Select Ford & Lincoln Vehicles [2011 - 2016] ---> from amazon
2. Compustar - Remote start Kit for most vehicles -----> from Best Buy
3. Fortin EVO-Fort 1 Stand alone ----> from amazon
4. or any Viper remote start
options. I saw these

They don’t require a dealer install, ‘recommended’ is noted, and generally can be had at a competitive price to the other RS systems on sites like eBay etc. Much lower than a walk in dealer offering.
If your comfortable installing a car stereo you can install a Ford RS or any other. ‘Recommended’ can/will apply to most audio units as well. The install and feature instructions available here as well..
Certainly the others will do the job, but range/features comes into play sometimes with lower cost, PATS interface, and longevity. To be honest, I don’t have much real life expierence with the aftermarket kits, but have installed many Ford units. The quality of the module itself, internal relay etc would be of concern for me on the lesser cost kits..
The old Ford kits were pretty labor intensive to install, but since about 07, much simpler....
