Goinng on long road trip soon with numerous nights in hotels and motels with the truck in dark parking lots outside.
Need a good security system for the 2018 XLT, for prevention and for stopping bad guys in the act.

Is this any good?

yes.. and you can get it cheaper.. the dual shock sensor is so sensitive .. i folded in my mirror one day and the alarm went off.. you also have the ability to change the sensitivity

 

 

bought mine on ebay... amazon had it too.. you can buy it from tasca parts too as long as you have the right part number.. then you can activate it in forscan

Nobody gives a crap about car alarms, and that includes thieves, who know that nobody gives a crap about car alarms. Your best bet is to buy a dual channel dash cam that will hopefully at least record the POS and give you a fair shake at catching the POS and possibly getting your stuff back.

 

Not always true. I park on the street in front of my house. If my horn starts beeping then I give a crap and investigate.. Same if the OP is able to park near his hotel room. It's a deterrent if the shock sensor goes off before he has a chance to get in. Better than nothing.

 

Here's what you need for the 2018's. I have it in mine and I love it. Had my truck broken in at 1200 miles and found out the standard alarm doesn't go off even after breaking a window. Added this alarm to my 502a and now it goes off with a simple tap on window. I feel better parking around Houston now.
