Depends on which model of the remote start you have. I'm having them put one in my FX4 before I pick it up this weekend. The one I got has a 1,000 ft. range.

It depends where you are at, weather, interference etc. I've seen them as bad as 25' and as good as 300' from factory (1,000' would be great!)

I've got the stock remote start. Never have done a distance test but the range is the best of any I've owned. It also seems to go through walls much better than the previous versions.

On my 2012 with factory remote start, I can easily hit ~300feet through my office window at work. Its a clear shot to my truck. Haven't tried further, so I'm not sure how far it would work.
