What was the most stolen car in 2021?

I’m in the market for a used car. I just don’t want to buy one that’s easy to steal because I live in a city where car thefts are somewhat common. What car model was stolen the most in 2021?

When you consider that 721,885 vehicles were stolen in the U.S. in 2021,
buying a used car
that can stand up to theft is a smart move. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, *the most stolen car in 2021 was the Ford F-Series pickup truck**, or more specifically, the 2006
Ford F150
.
However, the Ford F-Series is the top-selling vehicle in America for 40 years running, so the sheer number of trucks on the road may have skewed these results. Still, older models of the F-Series don’t have advanced anti-theft features, leading to a heightened number of thefts.
To curb the chance of your car being stolen, you can avoid the Ford F-Series, but you can also:
  • Install a GPS
  • Add an anti-theft device
  • Park your car in well-lit areas or a garage
