When Vinny and Jimmy (Houston installers) put the Ravelco unit in my Raptor, they said that putting in Jimmy Jammers and replacing driver’s side hardware with passengers side was a waste of money. Vinny said that the thieves would just break a window to gain entry. Bummer for me since I had already spent $750 doing the door handle swapped:(

Vinny said that the only way to defeat the Ravelco was a tow truck.

Vinny said that their business is overwhelmed with demand.

Crap, thought ford would be smarter than that but I’m not surprised.
That’s pretty standard. They need to manage hundreds of thousands vehicles that are constantly being moved between the plants, off site lots, and shipping ramps. The blame is on the degenerate criminals, not the manufacturers trying to logistically produce and deliver millions of vehicles to customers each year.

Agreed, and part of logistics is not getting their vehicles stolen.

Criminals do suck, but they exist. Who ends up paying for these trucks that are stolen and damaged? The consumer. Ford can be more proactive in protecting their vehicles even if it costs more initially. Otherwise we end up footing the bill twice
