I would find out exactly what data is being recorded, and who it is being shared with, before I agreed to anything.

Good friend just had his F-350 stolen. If that gadget can track the where-abouts of the truck I think I'd sign up for it. Especially if the data logger is hidden from view.

Did you sign up for Fordpass when you took delivery? I assume not otherwise they wouldn’t need to offer you $500 for your data.

They get enough data from you as it is. There’s NO WAY I’d sign up to give more of my privacy away.

Something doesn’t jive. Consider all the data they currently get from the truck, your phone (if connected to the truck), and FordPass app……what capabilities does the new device have that the truck doesn’t?? Video camera in the cabin? Regardless, it’s be a hard pass for me.


All 25 car brands we researched earned our *Privacy Not Included warning label -- making cars the official worst category of products for privacy that we have ever reviewed.

That’s right: every car brand we looked at collects more personal data than necessary and uses that information for a reason other than to operate your vehicle and manage their relationship with you

Exactly! They are already recorded all kinds of data, and sharing it with whomever they want to. And somewhere in that encyclopedia of papers you signed when you bought it, you gave them permission to do so!
