We Wuz Robbed! The Most Stolen Vehicles Of 2025

Anyone who owns a cool car, whether it is a classic from the ’50s, ’60s or ’70s or a more modern performance machine from the Reagan Era to today, your biggest fear is probably theft. You get that gnawing feeling every time you walk to the last place you parked your ride that it will be gone. This could be a spot in a hotel parking lot or your own garage. These are everywhere. We therefore bring you the list of the most stolen vehicles of 2025, per the Highway Loss Data Institute.

Most of the cars on this list are fairly generic appliances, like the Honda Accord and Civic, Hyundai Sonata or a Toyota Camry. But a few of the major players are vehicles enthusiasts are likely to own: A Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado, and a late-model Camaro.

In fact, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 had a whole-vehicle theft claim frequency approximately 40 times the all-vehicle average, while the standard Camaro’s frequency was about 13 times the average.

Theft claim frequencies for sixth-generation Camaros remained more than 10 times those of fifth-generation models during the period examined. HLDI said changes in electronic architecture, including the adoption of push-button start systems, could be one contributing factor. Interestingly, they proved so unpopular with customers that the Camaro went extinct. Now we know who wanted them new: Thieves.

Vehicle theft declined sharply across the United States last year, but hundreds of thousands of drivers were still affected. A total of 659,880 vehicles were reported stolen in 2025, equivalent to approximately one theft every 48 seconds.

New analysis has now revealed which models were stolen most often, which broader vehicle types faced the greatest relative theft exposure and how security technology may influence whether a vehicle becomes an attractive target.

American Trucks analyzed 2025 vehicle theft totals from the National Insurance Crime Bureau, whole-vehicle theft insurance data from the Highway Loss Data Institute and city-level FBI crime and U.S. Census data.

The research ranked America’s 10 most stolen vehicle models by total reported thefts, compared relative theft exposure across vehicle types and examined the security and design features associated with elevated theft rates.

• Muscle cars had the highest relative theft-risk score at 587, followed by sports cars at 370 and pickup trucks at 205. The average vehicle was indexed at 100.
• A total of 659,880 vehicles were stolen nationwide in 2025, approximately one every 48 seconds. That was 35 percent below the 2023 peak of 1,020,729 thefts, so there is some good news.
• The 10 most stolen models accounted for 136,415 thefts combined, equivalent to approximately one in every five vehicles stolen nationwide.
• The Hyundai Elantra ranked as America’s most stolen vehicle, with 21,732 thefts reported during 2025. It recorded 3,935 more thefts than the second-place Honda Accord.
• The 10 most stolen vehicles were: Hyundai Elantra, 21,732 thefts; Honda Accord, 17,797; Hyundai Sonata, 17,687; Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 16,764; Honda Civic, 12,725; Kia Optima, 11,521; Ford F-150, 10,102; Toyota Camry, 9,833; Honda CR-V, 9,809; and Nissan Altima, 8,445.
• The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ranked fourth, with 16,764 reported thefts. It has remained among the four most stolen vehicles for three consecutive years, ranking fourth in 2023, third in 2024 and fourth again in 2025.
• Silverado thefts fell by approximately 29 percent between 2023 and 2025, declining from 23,721 to 16,764, but the truck remained one of the country’s most frequently stolen models.
• The Ford F-150 ranked seventh, with 10,102 reported thefts. Together, the Silverado and F-150 were the two pickup trucks appearing in the national top 10.
• Pickup trucks faced approximately twice the average theft exposure and around 3.5 times the exposure recorded for SUVs, which had the lowest score among the major vehicle categories analyzed.
• HLDI insurance data also found that pickups recorded the highest whole-vehicle theft claim frequency among the broad vehicle types it examined, at 0.91 claims per 1,000 insured vehicle years. Passenger cars recorded 0.47 and SUVs 0.31.
• Security technology may also help explain why certain models have been targeted. Passive immobilizers were standard on only 26 percent of 2015 Hyundai and Kia vehicle series, compared with 96 percent of series from other manufacturers.
• The 10 cities with the highest reported vehicle theft rates were: Oakland, California; St. Louis; Minneapolis; Dayton, Ohio; Philadelphia; Detroit; Pueblo, Colorado; Cleveland; Memphis; and Milwaukee.
