    I'd agree with this, they are good trucks.

        Then you sit are an exception. A lot of insurance companies charge a premium just for having a v8, before you get to rates.

                i think the escape looks like more of a chick car...

                not a bad idea.

                Don't get him a V6 Mustang. Oh man can you imagine how much you would HATE to drive around in an old shitbox V6 Mustang? Don't do that to your son.

                But then again, I think everyone should own a fullsize truck when they're young and have friends and are moving around all the time. I think you're on the right track. Just let him drive a couple of different cars and see what he thinks.
                i would have HATED driving a V6 mustang. That said, i did have a 91 camaro RS with a 305 tbi that lost to a I6 96f150. I think a v6 mustang own on it.

                    I'm a Ford guy, but the Escape is waaaaaay more of a chick car than the Xterra. Smaller, less capable off-road, less rugged looking, etc.

                    I vote V6 extended cab Ranger. My buddy had a 96 that ran forever and We beat the crap out of it.

                    Explorers are good, too, but a pickup is more versatile.

                    As for the v6 Mustang, he may not care at first, but once he has one, he'll only wish he had a real one, I mean a v8.

                      I had a 2003 ranger edge ext cab with the 4.0 SOHC motor. I loved that truck.

                        I got a 1995 Nissan 200sx w/ 5sp. I still have it today and i'm graduating college in May. I don't think i will ever get rid of it. I learned how to work on on cars with it blowing up and it taught me many other lessons.

Only three passengers (two 93-94), you are very familar with the platform, ease to work on and parts are very cheap.

                              Early\Mid 2000s 4 banger Ranger with a standard transmission

                              Inexpensive, good on gas, reliable, and they hold up really well even when you beat them to shit.

                                We had one, two tanks lasted him about two weeks, it got about 16 mpg. If Craig wants to get his son a bitch car or truck*, I guess go ahead.
