Alot of them do. Check around at places like Best Buy and anywhere else that does alarm systems for cars. Just remember, you get what you pay for!

Check out your local stereo performance shop. You can pay anywhere from $125 all the way up to $550 and maybe higher. All depends on what you want. That is a basic feature on many alarms.

Get a layered system. First layer alarm, Second layer some type no start system. Third layer a physcal barrier. Fourth layer good insurance.
When, regretably after, my first 02 PSD was stolen I learned my lesson. I got a Viper alarm, Cyclops no start system, and a Autolok wheel lock. Still have the good insurance.
I don't recommend the alarm systems that include a starter lock out. If the alarm system fails you may not be able to start your truck a b stranded.
It's a money thing. The trucks will part out for big bucks compared to others. The thiefs are rarely caught. When they are they are let go with a slap and tickle. Don't forget the fourth layer
