Here's a nice write-up on the "relay attack".
In this particular write-up, they seem to focus on proximity-style FOBs where you don't need to press a button to do something. Further, they say while a thief can start your car and drive off, they cannot restart the car, so they're really limited to one joy ride.
Again, I think there IS a vulnerability, but I'm questioning if for 2008+ Ford trucks its much of a practical concern.
