the modem in the truck is how the truck communicates with ford, (ford pass) maybe they will use something else to communicate for this program, I don't know. makes sense to use the system they already have though.

Truth. Fact is whoever has the Title is the one that actually owns the truck.

it's sad to see people falling for the media's tricks. Ron Swanson is just a stereotype caricature made to be ridiculed by the typical P&R viewer and played by an outspoken partisan actor who made his career on the "angry ____ male" trope.

Don’t be so naive as to think people do not know the difference between Nick Offerman and the fictional hero he played on TV.

Ehh, pay your note, keep driving your vehicle. Not too hard to comprehend. Used car lots have been using recovery modules in this fashion for decades. Every month you pay your note they give you a new code to enter into the module with a remote fob. Vehicle unlocked for another month. Pay off the vehicle they give you a kill code that turns the module off completely, they don't even bother to remove the module as it's not cost effective.
Used primarily at those buy here pay here lots but I'm sure they're in wider use by now. I've installed a few of them over the years.

All cars but one I owned, I paid cash. The one I had on credit, I paid off early. My point: lenders won't bother me. and I'm all for repos on folks that don't pay.
But I don't want anyone else having access to my vehicle. Period! Not loan officers, manufacturers, the government, or anyone else. I want a dumb house, an old phone and computer nobody wants to hack, and the ability to repair my own stuff.

John Deere tractors have had this technology, worldwide for some time. When Russia invaded Ukraine they hauled all the new JD tractors back to Russia. While in transit JD remotely shut down the tractors via satellite. Tractors had to be physically removed from the transports.
I have no issue with this. I will have an issue when the Government pulls the plug.
