Best first vehicle is the GMT800 platform second is the Panther platform crown Victoria. These two vehicles deliver everything and more for low cost and high reliability with proper maintenance.

[Moonless]

These are still too pricy for a first truck. Most people couldn't even afford to go buy these for themselves

[speedracerjeff]

I’m a full size, V8 guy all the way. I’ve owned compact and mid size pickups and nothing beats the comfort, room, towing, payload, and power of a full size pickup truck.

Number one thing to consider when buying the new driver their first vehicle: Get something they like and want to take care of. They need to love it as much as their cell phone.

"Big bed, 6.5'". It is a sad commentary that a 'long' bed is what we called a short bed just 15 years ago.

I still have my first truck since high school with 250k on it and still runs great. 08 f150 crew cab FX4.

[shawnreynolds]

My first vehicle was a 1989 Jeep Comanche with a 2.5l four cylinder and a 4 speed manual trans. I agree with you guys a truck for a first vehicle is a good choice. Good video, lots of good advice. Keep up the good work!

I have a 2014 F-150 xlt, and ever since I got it, I’ve learned a lot that’s good to know, towing, maintenance, drifting in the rain, donuts, etc…

I wish y'all did this video "buy or bust" style and showed the sale prices of these trucks! this makes me think back to my high school days when some kids' parents bought them a brand new Ford Mustang for their first car… it was entertaining watching them leave in the snow but I guess that's one way to learn how to drive!

[vicenteochoa]

those early 2000s Ford Rangers were amazing too. Underpowered compared to the ones you showed today, but theyre amazing little trucks

[WhoThisGuy]

Late 90s f150 with a 300 6, 4 or 5 speed if you want a manual because those things last forever and can be fixed at any parts store for basically $20. My first vehicle was an 84 Isuzu 2 door trooper with a 4 speed 4x4. Stupid reliable too.

[JacobRamsey]

That's funny, the truck they say you shouldn't get is the only kind of truck basically you see in the local high school parking lot in this little rural town I live in. A lot of them are even brand-new looking, lifted like hell with big ass tires. All I do is wonder where their parents work because there's no jobs around here and I know they didn't pay for it.

[Brandon-llff]

For a teen. Two door or four door. Much better in an accident vs the extended cab when looking at trucks.

Best is a two door so they can’t have a lot of friends distracting them.

Tacoma's are good truck's but the one they showed I wouldn't have, to many mods that could've caused damage. That air box & filter for one & the aftermarket stereo for two. The Nissan & Ford both would probably be good truck's. I have a 2008 F150 4.2 V6 with the 5 speed Manual & it has 280, 000 miles & have never had absolutely any issues.

[palebeachbum]

I wouldn't consider buying a Tacoma unless I was buying one new. The resale value is insane and they're just too expensive used. As reliable as they are, the price makes them a poor value. I'd go with the Frontier. They're a great truck too and much more affordable. Plus, I root for the underdog. Nissan makes excellent V6 engines. My dad has owned a Tacoma, Ranger, S10, and Frontier. His Frontier had the supercharged 3.3L V6 and it gave him zero mechanical problems in 200k miles of ownership.

[Randomgamer-tkzj]

My first vehicle is a 2004 Ford freaking ranger it has 4x4 with the 4.0 v6 with around 160k mile on it still runs like a champ. I would recommend a ranger as first vehicle.

[jimcostantino]

First vehicles 15k plus ? Haha not happening for my kids
Get older Toyota or Honda no issues very safe. better off with civic or corolla maybe even old crv.

[frankmartin]

I learned to drive in a 1992 Mazda B2200 manual RWD in Canada, vinyl seat, no a/c, was a great truck!

[yates]

Very surprised not to see 99-06 GM trucks. Cheap, reliable, and badass still to this day

[BurntTransGarage]

My first car was an 84 Chevy K10 with a 4-speed manual; bought in 2002 for $2, 000. She got me through Colorado blizzards and sparked my love for off-roading. Not the most-reliable thing I've ever owned, but it's been 21 years and I still have that truck.
