Aside from what's mentioned above, I believe they also come with a tow sensor and engine disable.

When you just look at the "top stolen" charts it looks bad, but then you have to factor in things like how many vehicles are out there, what they're used for, how people treat/garage them, etc. For America's best selling vehicle, there's a lot of them out there so just on sheer numbers the odds of a truck being stolen is going to be statistically higher. Then you have to factor in the number of trucks used for construction, delivery, contracting, etc, where they're routinely parked in odd places and not always locked. Then of course there's the "I have a gun so my truck won't be stolen" crowd.

Unfortunately most cars have the same relative anti-theft capabilities. I haven't seen anything better (without electricity and crowbar-wielding monkeys involved) and there's certainly a lot worse (where's your Tesla now?)...So essentially it boils down to circumstances and "availability."

If you have a bag of red and yellow jellybeans, where there's a lot more red than yellow, and everybody has pretty much the same chance of pulling out either color jellybean...what're the odds they're going to pull out a red one?
