The Ford F-150 once again ranked among the most stolen vehicles in the United States, landing in the top 10 on the 2025 list based on early-year data. Despite its long-standing popularity with American buyers, the pickup’s widespread presence and valuable components continue to make it an appealing target for vehicle theft.
Data compiled from the National Insurance Crime Bureau and analyzed by Insurify shows the Ford F-150 placed seventh on the list of most stolen vehicles in the country last year. Thieves took 4,996 F-150s during the first half of the year alone. While that figure remains significant, it represents a notable shift compared with recent years when the truck topped national theft rankings.
The broader list was led by the Hyundai Elantra, which recorded 11,329 reported thefts, followed by the Hyundai Sonata with 9,154. Other frequently stolen vehicles included the Honda Accord, Chevrolet Silverado, Honda Civic, Kia Optima, Toyota Camry, Honda CR-V, and Kia Soul. The Ford Super Duty and F-150 together, commonly referred to as the Ford F-Series, have historically appeared near the top of these rankings due to their high sales volume and strong demand for parts.
For Ford owners, the latest data offers a measure of cautious optimism. The F-150 was the most stolen vehicle in the U.S. in 2023 and saw 12,952 reported thefts in 2024. Based on early 2025 figures, the truck appears on pace for a year-over-year decline, barring a sharp increase during the second half of the year.
Ford has introduced updated security measures for the F-150 in recent years, including features that allow owners to immobilize their vehicles and assist law enforcement with tracking and recovery. Even so, thieves have continued to exploit vulnerabilities, including amplifying key fob signals from outside homes and accessing onboard diagnostic ports to program unauthorized keys.
The continued presence of the F-150 on theft rankings underscores the ongoing challenge of protecting America’s most popular pickup, even as improved technology shows signs of making an impact.
