What’s The Most Stolen Vehicle In America?
The 2009 Cadillac Escalade. Still at the top of the charts, both pickup truck and SUV variants of the luxury auto are the favorite targets of US car thieves.
According to The IIHS and Motor Authority: Cadillac Escalade SUV is still the most stolen vehicle in the country, and is roughly six times as likely to be targeted by thieves as a typical 2008 to 2010 model year vehicle.
The worst offender is the Cadillac Escalade EXT, with 14 out of every 1,000 models insured likely to have a theft claim lodged by its owner.
To make matters worse, the Escalade also has one of the steepest average losses per claim–a surprisingly high $10,555 per theft. This costs insurers, on average, about $114 for every model insured every year, though the figure has been dropping over the years.
