I was coerced into buying a KARR SECURITY SYSTEM from the dealer when I bought my Lightning. I didn't want it and didn't think it was necessary. Now they want to install it in my Lightning. My question is: Has there ever been a theft of a Ford F150 Lightning from a private owner? It seems to me it comes with a lot of theft deterrent already. It has the Wireless Key fob, or security codes, without which it won't start; it has built in GPS tracking. It may have remote shutoff capabilities (not sure). There is general unfamiliarity with electric vehicles, which is a deterrent. The thief wouldn't get far without charging, and if fast charging would need to use a credit card. Am I missing something??

how were you coerced?

As far as installing it, I don't see the point unless you are trying to protect a lot of expensive aftermarket gear. I have ample insurance on my vehicles to cover loss.

I was told that I couldn't get the 3.9% financing unless I bought all those things I didn't want and didn't need. But, the point is, is it even worth installing it?

They lied to you none of that is necessary to get financing. That's an old dealer trick.
