Looks like aftermarket tracker to me, probably installed by the dealer?

I'm with Flak on it being gps tracker. Battery box is sure an odd place to put it though!?!?

If its not one of the OBD2 ones I would guess easiest place to install and get power?

Some dealers install GPS trackers in case a vehicle is stolen off the lot. If so, it should have been removed at sale. You can give it back, for a free oil change and tire rotation certificate, of course.

Why give it back, we pay for these trackers.

iKon EN400T. Tracking.

You sure you didn't pay for it? iKon offers a few other services for dealers so either they charged you for it or they just use it for inventory tracking and forgot to take it off.

I call it the new dealer scam. If you look at the ikon web site it is marketed to dealers. They install it to track their inventory and theft and then add it to your final cost. In my case $500 which I didn't catch on closing (too excited to get in the RR).

Just take it off. Chances of getting the dealer to refund the cost of it are very slim.
Your truck already has GPS tracking thru the Ford Pass app.

Take it off wire a small 12v battery to it and mail it out of the country

It looks like a tracker. I removed one from under my dash after I bought my truck. If you're truck is financed, then it can be used to repo the vehicle if you are not paying. My truck is paid for...
