Whether it’s a pickup truck, SUV, minivan or passenger car, if you’re in the market for a new set of wheels, chances are you’ll be eyeing one of these best-sellers. But, before you lay down the money and finalize the purchase, consider this: as long as you own the vehicle, you’ll need to pay for car insurance. That’s why it’s important to compare car insurance quotes beforehand because you’ll want to factor this cost into your purchasing decision.

Canada’s Top 10 Selling Vehicles

Hands down, the best-selling vehicle in Canada is the Ford F-Series pickup truck, according to sales data from Good Car Bad Car. In fact, the competition isn’t even close. With more than 145,000 new trucks sold in 2016, the Ford pickup truck outsold its next closest competitor, the Ram pickup by more than 56,000.
