Nearly half of the markets represented among the Top 10 for the highest monthly auto loan payment for a new model in April are located in the same state, according to Edmunds.com.

And popular vehicles sold in those areas appear to be pickups.

"It's no secret that April was a good month for full sized trucks. In fact, the segment had its highest market share of year at 12.2 percent of new-car sales," said Jessica Caldwell, senior director of industry analysis at Edmunds.com.

"And although they are known as 'American workhorses,' truck prices are quite high — transaction prices for full-size trucks topped $40,000 last month," Caldwell continued. "This is directly in line with Edmunds.com finance data — when we look at the Top 10 DMAs with the highest monthly payment — they are all located in ‘truck country.'

"While one might think that high monthly payments would be associated with places heavily into luxury, it looks like the truck market is where people are willingly paying the most," Caldwell went on to say.

The Top 10 markets with the highest monthly payments for new vehicles last month included:

1. Lubbock, Texas: $701.19

2. Macon, Ga.: $618.42

3. Odessa-Midland, Texas: $607.21

4. Casper-Riverton, Wyo.: $595.54

5. Grand Junction-Montrose, Colo.: $580.50

6. Fairbanks, Alaska: $575.93

7. Minot-Bismarck-Dickinson, N.D.: $565.45

8. Corpus Christi, Texas: $562.99

9. Montgomery, Ala.: $559.20

10. San Angelo, Texas: $553.47
