Can any of the control modules be accessed via the on-board modem? Basically I am wondering the truck could be hacked via this modem.

Thanks

No idea but other members have said it's in the passenger footwell and easy to unplug there.

yes, a Savy thief can hack it, the TCU (modem) is what Ford Pass connects to, so remote start, unlock doors etc, heck even your FOB can be hacked through a simple frequency reader

I knew the fob could be cloned but didn't think about it.
