Is it possible to track a 2016 F-150 without dropping a pin on a map?
Just wondering if there is an app I can download that will show the location of the truck at any time?

If you use Bluetooth on your phone to integrate with your vehicle; Apple Maps has integrated "parked car" in Ios10 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207227

Would that help if he's not driving the vehicle? I don't really see how it would.

You are correct, although OP didn't specify.

My Android phone will do it automatically for me as long as I hit 20 or so MPH. it guesses that when you go from walking speed to 20mph you were in a car I guess, and drops a pin. Doesn't do it every time but I think that's my settings, and it's obviously not synced up to the car perfectly.
It's saved me from losing my car in central Boston a few times though. It's usually within 50 feet. The new GPSes are insane, I was in Wal mart this morning and it told me how to walk 87 feet from the bathroom to an ATM inside the store.

Add GPS to ur truck and u can. Or a company like OnStar makes a plug in version
Thanks, I know I can add it. I was just wondering if I could save myself a few bucks by doing it natively.
Ford has a similar system but u have to pay a monthly fee and it's very buggy as I understand. I personally haven't used it but our Chevy had OnStar. I think we used it maybe 2 times while it was free. U can actually by a dedicated GPS unit and not have to buy a monthly service. I bet if u search parents teens car GPS u'll find something on Google
