The list of the most commonly stolen vehicles, most years, closely follows the list of the most common cars on the road. After all, thieves have an easy time finding them, and their parts are in high demand.
That means the Ford F-Series often makes the list. It’s been America’s best-selling vehicle for nearly 50 years. Car thieves know they can find one and find a market for one.
Ford has some new ideas on what to do about it.
The company’s new Ford Security Package, available on F-150 and Super Duty pickups in 2025, includes several tricks to foil potential thieves. Buyers get one year of the service with any new truck purchase, after which they’ll have to pay $7.99 a month or $79.95 a year.
For that fee, they’ll get the ability to immobilize the truck through the FordPass app. Once the truck is disabled, Ford says, “it can’t be started, even if someone has an authorized key nearby” until you reactivate it through the app.
You’ll also get theft alerts through the app if anyone “tries to access, start, move, or factory reset your truck.”
Buyers also get access to an 800 number, staffed by real humans, to report thefts. Owners will need to file a police report first, but once they’ve done so, Ford agents at the hotline number can work with law enforcement to track down the truck.
If someone manages to defeat those systems and steal the truck anyway, Ford will pay up to $2,500 toward your theft insurance deductible.
