Trucks may be big in size, but it doesn’t mean their insurance premiums have to be.
Foster City, CA – October 23, 2019 – What’s more American than owning a truck? They may be large in size, but that doesn’t mean the insurance premiums have to be. Insure.com, a one-stop destination for unbiased, expert advice on health, life and home insurance unveiled a new slideshow to assist consumers looking for the least expensive pickups to insure. The most expensive are also listed to help more Americans keep extra cash in their wallets.
Insure.com found many trucks are cheaper to insure than sedans. The annual average nationwide for trucks in 2019 was $1,662 compared to the average for cars at $2,072 - a 20% savings. The most expensive pickup trucks in the study are 11% more expensive than the national average for cars and 69% more expensive than the cheapest truck.
Trucks tend to run cheaper than cars due to a variety of reasons:
- Trucks are favored in rural areas, which tend to have a lower frequency of accidents.
- Truck repairs can be cheaper.
- Trucks are more likely to protect occupants and absorb a crash impact than a car. This lessens collision coverage costs, but may stoke the liability costs (bigger vehicles can do more damage to others).
- Base models don’t come with bells and whistles that base model sedans may carry. These models have lower insurance premiums because there are not high-tech parts and features that increase repair costs.
Top Three Trucks that are Least Expensive to Insure:
- Nissan Frontier
- GMC Canyon
- Ford F-150
Top Three Trucks that are Most Expensive to Insure:
- Ford F-450
- Ford F-350
- GMC Sierra
