Is a tracker a good idea?

I have just bought a 2016 Range Rover Sport. As I believe these are high risk apart from the steering lock I am using would you recommend a tracker device?

If so can make any recommendations please?

Generally speaking, Range Rovers are considered among a group of vehicles at high risk of theft which has been reflected in some owners experiencing high insurance premiums. Any extra element of security you can add is a good thing, and a tracker is a good idea, but you may wish to consider an upgraded immobiliser as this will reduce the risk of the vehicle being stolen in the first place, rather than a tracker which would only help you find it in the event of it being stolen.

A good place to start when looking for enhanced security is with your insurer, and which systems or devices they recognise as being to a sufficient standard. You can also read our guide to security products here - kit.honestjohn.co.uk/top-tens/top-10-car-security-.../

Bigger and more economical than the old model. Great to drive on-road but with typical Land Rover off road ability. Fantastic traction and ability in the worst conditions.
