My 10/17/22 Tremor is being built with no motion detector due to the chip shortage…so breaking glass might not trigger the alarm, which also sends a message to our Ford Pass Apps on our phones, on trucks like mine. If this sensor delet e ends up for nearly all 2023’s wonder how that might impact insurance rates if 2023’s are being targeted more than other model years.

My carbonized grey color would be a giveaway it’s a 2023 for any thief with 1/2 a brain.

I highly doubt, even if that is how they all get built, random street thieves are going to be like "that F150 is a 2023 and that one is only a 2022 so I'm going to bypass the 2022 and go to the 2023 and break the glass and climb in and out through the shattered window to avoid the alarm"

They are going to pull the door handles on both and the ones that open they are going to fish for valuables in.

If either has valuables visible or otherwise suspected, they may break the glass and then open the door to get in

Exactly

"If either has valuables visible or otherwise suspected, they may break the glass and then open the door to get in"

Irresponsible/negligent to leave those things in a vehicle where they can be stolen like that

Yep from his clearly marked Virginia State Trooper Ford Explorer. They think the had a cloned key. There was no forced entry to the vehicle. The lock box he had his guns in was forced open. No alarm went off
