Ford-F250-Super-Duty-Platinum-2013-1920x1200-013.jpg

No. 1 target for thieves among 2010-12 vehicles: Ford F-250 Super Duty. The one above is 2014.

The current boom in the popularity of big pickups is taking place among thieves as well as ordinary buyers.
Full-size trucks have the highest insurance claim frequency of any group of vehicles, the insurance industry Highway Loss Data Institute reports. The HLDI claims data cover 2010 through 2012 models.
Thieves' favorite: Ford F-250 Super Duty crew-cab with four-wheel drive (4x4). It's a heavy-duty model used more often by tradespeople and owners doing serious towing or hauling than the gentrified truckers who buy many of the standard-duty pickups.
While the average claim frequency for all vehicles under the HLDI formula is 1.2 claims per 1,000 insured vehicle years, the F-250 has a claim frequency of 7. That formula is used to account for the fact that there are lots more of some vehicles on the road than others. An insured vehicle year is one vehicle insured for a year, or two vehicles each for six months, or any similar combination.
