Are they that easy to steal?

[AKguy]

I'm constantly seeing F250's being stolen (most recent below). How are they so easy to steal, and why is there such a demand for them?

My neighbor had an F250 7.3L and a 25+ foot camper. He and his family were heading to Texas for Independence Day. They stopped in Missouri or thereabouts at a hotel for the night. He went to get something out of the truck late at night and the whole rig was gone, camper and all.

About a month later the police found the truck stripped and mostly destroyed. The police told him the camper was probably stolen to use to make meth in.

They lost all of their extra clothes and some family heirlooms in the theft.

As a former owner of said model, a 250 King Ranch, it is quite possible someone left the keys in it with a sign that said "take me".

the only thing super about the SuperDuty that came with the 6.0L International was the maintenance cost and frequency.

Trucks are stupid expensive is the reason they are stolen. I imagine an F250 Diesel like that is $60k+.

Anything with a door handle recessed like this literally takes a few seconds to shove a flathead into and unlock the door big problem with the fords and gmc/Chevys and apparently Mexican cartels pay big money for 250's

Thats why I ride around in 15+ year old vehicles.

Yep me to. Really its because my broke cheap butt won't buy another one. But the older ones are even easier to steal.
