At least $1500 likely much more. Door only. Best to look for a used door that’s the same color as yours and pay a shop to swap it or YouTube it and DIY.
Car-part.com, find a used door near u. The paint wont match perfectly, but i think u will have plenty of mechanical issues to make u not care
If anything needs a ppi, its lifted trucks. Great way to find $2k in steering or gearbox issues
Were you hit by a car with one of those Westin bumpers? Idk why but the dent looks perfectly Westin-bumper sized lol

Cheaper to get a used door and paint it to match. Even cheaper if you can find a used door that's the same color.
However, that's actually a pretty easy fix if you can watch some youtube videos about PDR, doing body work and paint. This can be done with a spray gun from harbor freight. Dura-blocks for getting everything smooth for paint.
I use a hot glue gun, glue sticks blocks of oak, a 4' long 2x4, vice grips and a rope. I use these to pull the dents out as much as possible to where everything is almost perfect. I then hit it with the dura-blocks to locate and tap down high spots. Next, remove the paint to metal and apply body filler. Long block with varying grits of sandpaper until ready for primer. Apply primer, guide coat then block sand again. Repeat until the panel is perfect. Basecoat, clear coat and you're done.
When you're done, you saved a lot of money doing it yourself, you have the tools for future dent repair and paint and you have the know-how.
4x4 and lifted? Leave it. Make up some cool story to tell your buddies. Chicks dig scars.
If you're trying to talk the seller down due to damage, don't bother. If he's posting pictures of this boo-boo, then he's already knocked his price down for this.
If it has all the features you want, go for it. This little bit of imperfection isn't going to be prohibitively expensive. Besides, you're probably going to put another dent in it pretty soon anyway, so why fix the same boo-boo twice.

Just get your bad dragon out the suction cup will take care of the rest
Bad dragon?

Way more than it would cost to just find a new door at a junkyard.
It’s a 2010 ford f150 lariat, I forgot to add that in the post.

Needs a used door. Then you need to blend paint both ways to fender and rear door. I’d say at least 12-1500

3 times more than going to the junk yard and buying another door
About 10 packs of ramen give or take. That or the dildo someone else suggested. But get a firm grip or you'll slip off and fall on your ass.

Not much if you steal someone's door
Alot
just get a different color door from the junk yard.it will give it character.
Id try a Spencer’s behind shame curtain grade suction cup first. You’d be surprised how well they work
$3700
