- The new trucks in the F series include a free one -year subscription to the Ford Security Package.
- After the end of the initial subscription, the owners will have to cough $ 7.99 per month.
- The ignition can be disabled remotely via the Fordpass application, helping to reduce flights.
Ford wants to build more secure vehicles and now adapts to F-Series trucks that are always popular with the monthly Ford security package which will pay the owners up to $ 2,500 if their truck is stolen.
Although you can think that the $ 2,500 distribution to owners of the F series each time their vehicle is stolen sounds like a program open to fraud, it is a little more complex than that. For vehicles equipped with the Ford Security package, Ford will reimburse the owners of insurance franchises up to $ 2,500 if it is stolen, but the reimbursement will only be credited if the vehicle is not recovered or recovered with damage.

The package has been introduced into the range of F-150 models, as well as select Super Duty versions. The eligible models are delivered with a free one year subscription to the Ford Security Package. After that, he returned to a subscription of $ 7.99 per month.
It is not only the promise of being reimbursed for an insurance deductible that could attract buyers. The program includes flight and falsification notifications sent to the owner’s phone, and a new feature known as Start Inhibit. This function is in the FordPass application and allows the owner to deactivate the ignition remotely, even if a thief has access to the key. The package also has a 24/7 hotline where agents can work alongside the police to find stolen vehicles.
“Thieves use increasingly sophisticated methods to steal vehicles, and it is important that our system simultaneously introduces physical, electronic and communication obstacles to the success of a thief,” said the Director General of Security and From Ford’s security, Christian Moran to Detroit Free Press. “And if the worst arrives at your vehicle, we will be there with the reimbursement of the insurance deductible to do it properly.”
The continuation of Ford security systems will be offered in more models in the future, although it is not clear exactly when.
