I would like to buy a tracking device in my truck just incase someone steals it and the police can't find it but where can I buy one and where should I install it like in the dashboard or the engine department

 

Are you talking about lowjack?

 

What makes you think it don't already have one?

 

I'm fairly certain that it doesn't have lowjack on it right now unless the previous owner had it installed which is doubtful. Do a search for lowjack and you will have your answer. You could also put a full fledge security system in it that would include a tracking device. I think that Viper and many other name brand security system manufacturers all have systems with tracking devices in them. You will be spending a pretty hefty penny buying one though.

 

It might not have lowjack but according to a ford tech I know they have built in GPS tracker.

 

My truck don't got one but I want.one that if someone steels and drives away then I can look at my phone or a gps

 

What you want is a Lo-jack. Check their website, you can find a installer there.

 

Check out this site, we use them to track over 50 trucks at my plant. Its all web based, and as long as you can find a 12v constant, 12v ignition, and a ground wire thats all you need to hook it up. I dont know what you want to spend, but their is a monthly fee associated with it.

Also they offer a relay that you can install in conjunction with the unit that you can control from the web and what it does is kills the ignition on the truck when activated by you if stolen.

Those units are nice, but the police use low jack and can track the vehicle as soon as it gets reported

 

The ones I posted give you real time access to where your vehicle is. And is mountable under the dash with double sided tape. Just a thought

 

If you check with any alarm system they all offer a GPS system & notifyer that has no monthly fee...it will even call your phone

 

If your truck has a factory installed NAV system it's already being tracked... If your tracking your kids shenanigans, keep shopping.

 

might wanna ask yourself if its really worth it to put a tracking device on a f150 thats not a raptor. It just isnt the most desirable car to steal, the only cars that get stolen often are the typical civics, accords, camrys, maximas and altimas. Id save your money if i were u

 

^^Agreed, i would actually have no problem is someone stole my truck, basically cause then i would get to go truck shopping again! If they want it that bad, they can have it. If you have insurance dont sweat it!
