That Farmer's posting doesn't have the model year. They're most likely older models without anti-theft devices. F-150s now have Ford's VATS key. It's virtually impossible to steal a car with these devices. You have to have the transmitter key. It's a small transmitter with about 1 million codes that transmits to the computer when the key is in the ignition and the code changes every time you start the car. About the only other way to steal it is by towing it. If you're worried about that just turn the wheels in towards the curb each time you park. An alarm's basically a waste of money unless you want one that goes off if some touches the vehicle. Lo-Jac's ok if your still worried about getting car jacked or a valet running off with your vehicle but I'm not fretting. These factory security devices are the reason car jackings are on the rise. It's the only way you can steal the vehicle.
