2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer for First Car?

So I'm 18 and looking at this expedition for my first car? Should I get it or something smaller. I've always wanted a truck with a third row and an engine that sat up off the ground (flood prone area). And little cars and sedans make me nervous accident wise And the the price is very affordable for a very comfy truck. But I'm on the the short and skinny side and don't want to be made fun of. Also the gas and maintenance ( brakes) costs are a concern. What do you guys think?

2001 Ford Expedition - Power loss & loud clunk noise. What wrong?

I have a 2001 Ford Expedition & yesterday I was driving it when I came to a stop. The vehicle starting shaking a bit & rpms dropped and the car shut down. I tried restarting it but it would sometimes act like it was going to turn on but then turn off again. On one attempt I finally got it to run again but I got stuck on a red light on the next street and again it started shaking and the car shut off. After multiple attempts it finally turned back on but was lacking so much power. I was pushing the accelerator and It would barely walk. As I was crossing the light and making a left turn this loud and I mean LOUD clacking or breaking noise appeared to be coming front the front left tire a few moments later when I stopped turning the steering wheel and drove straight the suv got power again. I parked in a emptying lot and waitied. About 2 hours later it worked perfectly so I drove home. When I got home and parked it I turned it off and tried restarting it and it didn't start and the loud noise appeared once again. Please help I don't know what's wrong with it, I asked a local mechanic and he didn't really know.

Anything I should know before turning in my vehicle after the three year lease?

I leased a 2015 Toyota Camry SE on January 31, 2015 and it's almost time to turn it in. Before I contact the dealership, is there something I should do? I was thinking of keeping the vehicle but I don't know. Is the monthly payment going to drop? Also, if I decide to turn it in, will there be any penalties for any damages? It's a white vehicle and freeway debris in California has given way to minor chips to the hood and sides of the vehicles. Also, accidentally backed up into my father in laws Ford Expedition (no claim reported) but it did leave an imprint on the back bumper.

Added (1). I'm leaning more towards keeping the vehicle. Do I get to pay less if I want to keep the vehicle?
