Well, hard to say. As far as hard costs you'll be in for: (Just guessing at dealer prices here)
~8qts of ULV ($8-12/qt)
Filter ($30)
Filter Grommet (Ford says this is reusable, but its a $2 part, just replace it)
So, around $100-150 in parts.
Shouldn't take more than an hour of labor, although I don't know what the 'book rate' is.
The gasket is usually reusable, but if not, it is a pricey beast at around $50.
In a reasonable world, I would say $200-250 would be fair for them to do it, but we all know that dealers are all over the map when it comes to these things.

The reason I asked is my dealer said they only drain and refill the fluid for $160. I told the service rep I wanted a filter change and she had no idea.

That's not terrible for a D&F.
Depending on the miles, that might be a good choice. I think the filter can reasonably go 50-60K before you'd need to change it, so if you're around 30K then a D&F would be a good option.
Price will jump though, since to do a D&F you can just suck the fluid out, which is what many of us do, or have done. Now I have the PPE pan so I have a drain plug.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I have a 2019 Ranger I bought new and now has 42k miles. Mostly city stop and go with monthly highway drives usually around 100 to 150 miles round trip.
