Good first vehicle for 16yr old son.

For my two boys I went with a clean single cab pick up with 100,000+ on it.

We got both our kids, boy and girl, Nissan Frontiers. Both with manual transmissions. We (I) wanted them both to be able to handle a stick shift just in case they ever needed that skill. I told my daughter that guys really like a girl that can handle a manual transmission. The summer after her junior year in high school she went on a school sponsored work trip to Georgia. The kids wound up clearing brush from a pasture. She got to drive the truck because she was the only one that could handle a manual transmission. One of her male classmates told her "there's just something about a girl that can handle a manual transmission." I just love that story.

Anyway, get a truck to have them up off the ground, don't give them too big an engine, and get something that is reliable. Good luck with it all.

I have a ‘97 explorer in the driveway I was going to give to my oldest. He wanted a truck and worked to buy his own. Found an ‘83 Chevy in the classifieds and he bought it this past August a week before turning 15. He’s working on it in his spare time and is about to start on the interior. It’s been fun working on it with him so far. If I still have it when my daughter starts driving, she’ll get the Explorer.

Good for him. I like it.

When my son turned 16 four years ago we bought him a 97 Chevy Z71 for his first vehicle we paid $2500 for it. I had the exact same truck for 15 years and knew it was a reliable vehicle and I could do repairs on it if needed. He turned 20 today and is still driving it with 162,000 miles on the odometer.

Did you buy it here? Just wondering if its my old truck I sold to someone here. Cant remember who I sold it to

No, I bought it from one of my uncles. I’m sure he could have sold it for more but he gave me a great deal on it.

This is close to what we did with our boys, bought our daughter what she wanted because life ain’t fair

Yeah, I got 2002 Tundra TRD, that runs like new. Only 160 something thousand miles on it. Thinking that might be to nice of a ride to start with.

My grandmother has 88 Silverado that’s been parked for years. Only 60,000 miles on it. She’s been gone awhile now, be pretty cool to get that truck running. Maybe he can work on his grandpa and we can have a summer project. Fuel pump went out like 6 year’s ago, and it’s still sitting in the yard in the same spot....

4WD too

He will take much better care of that truck buying it and working on it himself. Knowing the cost and hard work it took to get it.

I hope to do something similar to this when my boy gets close to driving age.
