Best Alarm?

[IMSICK]

Just got my new 2014 white baby taco. Anyone have any alarm suggestions?:2guns:

One that comes with it works fine for this guy. Mines a 13. Welcome from RI.

Mine didn't come with any alarm. Its the entry level Reg Cab.. Then new models come
with the touch screen radio and side airbags that you can turn off.

Alpine, Clifford, Python and Viper are all good. They are all the same brand, Directed Electronics.

I wonder if those alarms still work if the crook disconnects the battery?

Had a viper on my old 240sx. Never had a prob wih it. Had a battery backup too.

Battery backups are an option.

If the thief wants your truck bad enough they will take it.

Get the Toyota Factory one,much cheaper and better ,I have it on both,my Rav4 and My 2013 Tacoma Pre Runner!!!No Problems ever!!!And better!

The factory alarm is junk. I don't even think it has starter kill. For the 500 Toyota wants to you can do much better with aftermarket.

Yup. Pro thieves know how to beat all that **** anyway, and like whip said if they want it bad enough theyre taking it. Keeps the amateurs out though.

You can also add an electric fuel cutoff valve, hidden deadman's switch and park in a fenced yard with a couple of very large aggressive dogs to slow down any thief. You could in a pinch put a claymore mine field around your truck if necessary. Just be careful where you step. Bear traps come to mind. Get stuck in one of those and I doubt they will want to steal your truck then. :thumbsup:

I run a viper alarm, I have for years, they are great. I'm MECP first class installer and like they way they work. A battery backup unit (viper 520) will monitor the vehicles voltage and set off the alarm instantly if the battery cables are cut. But if someone wants it bad enough they can circumvent any alarm. I run a GPS unit that gives me access to the viper app that can alert my cell phone if my alarm goes off. I can also start my truck from any location. It's a nice feature when you're out of the 1 mile range of the alarm fob. The GPS feature is a service that costs about 80 a year but for me it's well worth it.
