Ford has announced a new Security Package for select F-Series models, aimed at preventing theft and providing peace of mind for owners. The package includes a unique insurance deductible reimbursement offer of up to $2,500 in case the vehicle is stolen or damaged and not recovered. This offer is available on gas and hybrid-powered 2024-2025 F-150 and Super Duty pickups in 40 states.
In addition to the insurance reimbursement, owners will receive a one-year free trial of Ford’s Security Package service, which includes features like a Start Inhibit function. This feature allows owners to remotely lock down their vehicle, preventing it from being started even with a key. The Start Inhibit feature can be accessed through the FordPass app, where owners can generate a one-time code to deactivate the lockdown.
Interestingly, the electric F-150 Lightning does not have the Start Inhibit feature, but Ford plans to expand the Security Package to other vehicles in the future. The automaker also mentioned the possibility of extending the insurance deductible reimbursement offer to more states.
With the rise of vehicle thefts facilitated by modern technology, Ford’s Security Package offers a comprehensive solution for owners. In addition to the Start Inhibit feature and insurance reimbursement, owners will have access to a 24/7 helpline for assistance in connecting with law enforcement. The FordPass app will also send notifications of any theft or tampering with the vehicle.
Overall, Ford’s new Security Package is a proactive step towards protecting F-Series owners and their vehicles. The combination of innovative features and insurance coverage ensures that owners can feel more secure about their investment. As Ford continues to enhance its security offerings, owners can rest assured that their vehicles are in good hands.
