#1 -- Cadillac Escalade ESV 4-door 4WD
Heading the list is the Cadillac Escalade ESV four-wheel drive model with 15 theft insurance claims per 1,000 sold. The ESV is the longest version of this premium SUV, powered by a 6.2-liter V-8.
#2 -- Ford F-250 SuperCrew 2WD/4WD
Next comes the Ford F-250 SuperCrew pickup, in either two- or all-wheel-drive guises, scoring an average of 13.1 claims.
#3 -- Cadillac Escalade 4-door 4WD
Then it all goes horribly wrong again for Escalade drivers; the standard all-wheel drive model is rated at 11.3.
#4 -- Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger sedan (11 claims) comes in at No. 4 before another Ford pickup joins the list.
#5 -- Ford F-350 SuperCrew 2WD/4WD
This time it’s the F-350 SuperCrew, in two- or four-wheel-drive guises, racking up 10.7.
#6 -- Hummer H2 SUT 4-door 4WD
The first of two Hummers, the H2 SUT (a sport-utility-with-a-pickup-bed vehicle) gets 10 claims.
#7 -- Dodge Magnum
The Dodge Magnum rolls into seventh place with a wagon at 9.9.
#8 -- Hummer H2 4-door 4WD
Then it’s Hummer No. 2, the straightforward H2 SUV (H2 models are the biggest trucks Hummer makes; they also use 6.2-liter V-8 engines), with 8.7 claims to its name.
#9 (tie) -- Dodge Durango 4-door 2WD/4WD
Yet another Dodge makes the list. The Durango SUV’s vital statistic here is 8.1. The IIHS doesn’t break this down to models with V-6 or V-8 engines, however.
#9 (tie) -- Honda S2000 convertible
Tying with the Durango is the Honda S2000, the company’s little sports car (also with 8.1). It doesn’t have the kind of space and practicality that most of the others here enjoy, nor the thirst, but it is a whole ton of fun to drive. And it holds its resale value really well.
