Despite its size and diverse landscapes, Texas has a less appealing claim to fame: the state with the tenth-highest rate of car theft at 320 thefts per 100,000 residents in 2021, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). Topping the list of the most stolen cars in Texas are full-size pickup trucks from Chevrolet, Ford and GMC, followed by compact to midsize sedans from Honda, Toyota and Nissan.
This report dives into the most stolen cars in Texas using data from NICB’s latest "Hot Wheels" report, focusing on theft numbers, year-over-year comparisons, how much buyers paid for the 2021 year models and vehicle reliability ratings according to J.D. Power and Edmunds.
