What was the most stolen car in 2019?

After a huge spike in car thefts in my city in 2020, the police department released statistics that car thefts were declining through 2019. I’m a curious person, so I just want to know more about it. What type of vehicle was stolen the most in the US in 2019?

According to law enforcement, car thefts have spiked dramatically since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic due to economic downturn, police department realignment, and loss of jobs. Before 2020, car thefts were on the decline. Still, the most stolen car in 2019 was the
Ford
F-Series pickup.
Thieves can use the onboard diagnostic port to reprogram a fake key, which makes the Ford F-Series pickup a target. They simply plug in the device, run a program, and the car starts right up. For this reason, nearly 39,000 Ford F-Series pickups were stolen in 2019 alone.
Even if you have a dashcam, GPS tracker, and other anti-theft devices, adding
comprehensive coverage
to your car insurance policy is a smart way to get reimbursement for your car insurance if it’s ever stolen.
