IMHO They aren't overly strong, but, like the video on their site shows, thieves quickly gave up stealing one truck with this protection installed and stole another truck in the same parking lot.  They are just a deterrent that should work well against the 'over the border' thieves I have to contend with.  A professional car thief that really really wants your truck will simply be annoyed.BTW - The door has to be opened to set off the stock alarm, as opposed to just breaking a window and reaching in - WTF?  The Ford add-on alarm piggy-backs onto the existing stock alarm and adds additional capability (shock, infrared interior, I think??).  Both stock and add-on alarms are manufactured by CODE alarm, so additional features can be obtained from them (additional features may be a somewhat custom install, depending).  Tasca Ford refused to give me the installation instructions (and there are a LOT of wires), again WTF?  HINT (to save you a lot of research): download them off of the CODE site - they're identical ;-) and send Tasco a nasty email like I did.Good luck guys.Todd</blockquote>
