Well, here we go again, lol. I tracked my 2022 until it was delivered in December 2021. My poor truck was stolen in Houston last Friday (21901 miles) so I got my order in Tuesday. Hoping my wait isn't 6 months again!
Do you know how it was stolen? Was it one of those keyfob repeater thefts or something else?

Houston:mad: Getting worse and worse. Sounds like your insurance company was super fast to get you taken care of. What did you do differently on this order from the last?
Still working with insurance. I did the same truck but went patriot blue instead of black like the last one and long bed with a 50-gallon tank. 3500 Limited SRW night edition with HO engine and self-leveling rear end.

My spare tire was stolen in Houston. They cut the wires. I didn't find out until I asked my son to check the pressure before an RV pull. He responded...what spare tire? I thought he was being stupid...guess I'm the stupid one. I don't have my new truck yet, but I bought an anti-theft lock for the pin that lowers the spare.

Houston had over 17,000 stolen last year. Dallas where I live, 13,000. Ram trucks are in the top 5 most stolen. Everyone I know here either has or knows a close friend or family member who has had a vehicle stolen.

Are there add-ons to a truck to prevent it?

Hidden kill switch, steering wheel "club", faraday pouch. Because of where I live, I will install a hidden kill switch of some sort at the same time I wire in my lights.
Good ideas. I have to use the fob to enter and start the truck. How does the faraday pouch prevent the signal from being captured?

Using a faraday pouch means you lose the convenience of "keyless" though because you will have to fiddle with the key each time you start and stop driving instead of just leave it on your pocket, right?
Still beats having no truck to drive anymore I guess.

I googled and watched a few faraday videos. My current truck is a 2003. What size pouch do I need for the 2023 fobs?

No idea. Like most reading this thread I don't have my truck yet. Maybe start a new preventing truck theft related thread outside of this order tracking one to draw out replies for what others have done.

Good idea. I searched and can't find a thread, so I created one.

Bad order means there’s something mechanically wrong with the railcar.

Ordered 11/1, shipped 4/11.

Thanks!!!
