I have a spot and it works well. You can go to a webpage and see on google Earth or google maps exactly where the vehicle is. Now I do realize that if its up in the hills, the police may not do anything, but if you get an anti hijack device as well which shuts the truck down, the GPS tracker will let you know where it is.
The spot trace will work of USB power. A 12v to USB adapter is cheap. I intend to put mine in behind one of my side mirrors where there is plenty of room. There is 12v sitting there whether or not the ignition is on. At present I have it fastened to the roof of my meciine cabine tin my RV where no one will find it. The signal pentrate the wood & TPO roof no problem. As long as they take the RV with the truck that works, but it makes more sense to install it in the truck.
