Owning a truck offers unparalleled utility and capability, but it also represents a significant investment. Protecting that investment is paramount, and Ford understands this. That’s why the 2024 and 2025 F-150 (excluding Lightning) comes standard with a 1-year plan of Stolen Vehicle Services, a feature that goes above and beyond basic security systems to offer comprehensive theft protection and peace of mind. This service leverages your truck’s built-in technology to provide proactive alerts and assist law enforcement in recovering your vehicle should the unthinkable happen. It’s a level of security that sets Ford apart in the full-size truck segment.

Ford’s Stolen Vehicle Services works through the FordPass app, connecting you directly to your truck’s security systems. You’ll receive Theft Protection Alerts through FordPass if someone tampers with your vehicle, attempts to enter it, or even tries to perform a Factory Reset from the in-vehicle screen. These proactive alerts give you an immediate heads-up about any suspicious activity, allowing you to take swift action. In the unfortunate event of a theft, you can use the FordPass app to report the theft and alert the police. The service then uses your vehicle’s cellular data connection and GPS to track its location, providing crucial information to law enforcement.

The benefits of Stolen Vehicle Services extend beyond simple tracking. Once you’ve confirmed the theft with Ford’s 24/7 assistance team (available by phone at 1-866-861-0419 or through the FordPass app), they will work directly with law enforcement to recover your truck. To protect your vehicle further, features like the Factory Reset function will be disabled, preventing thieves from easily wiping your personal data or altering critical systems. The Stolen Vehicle Services team acts as a liaison between you and the police, providing updates and ensuring all necessary information is shared to facilitate a swift recovery.

Activating your Stolen Vehicle Services is simple and can be done through the Connected Services area of your Ford account, either via the Ford website or the FordPass app. You’ll first need to activate your vehicle’s modem through the FordPass app. This valuable feature is included with your new 2024 or 2025 F-150 (excluding Lightning) for the first year, providing an added layer of security and demonstrating Ford’s commitment to its truck owners. It’s just one more reason why the F-150 is the smart choice for those seeking both capability and peace of mind.
