Last year was another banner year for the Ford F-Series pickup truck.
Do you have your sights set on buying a new vehicle this year? If so, then chances are you’ll be taking one of these best-sellers for a spin. But before you do, compare auto insurance quotes ahead of your test drive for a truer picture of the cost of ownership. Don’t wait to fall in love with a new set of wheels, only to find out it costs a lot to insure, after you’ve purchased it.

Shopping for a New Vehicle? Shop for Car Insurance Too
New or used, what you park in your driveway is one of the key factors in calculating your car insurance rate. But, not all insurers will rate your new set of wheels equally, which is why you can’t assume your current insurer will continue to offer you the best price for your coverage. When shopping for a new car this year, keep in mind to shop for insurance too.
