Should I get a truck or a Jeep as my first vehicle?
So I'm 16 about to turn 17 and looking to buy my first vehicle. I'm deciding between either a 4 door 4X4 truck (either a Ram or a Ford) OR a two door Jeep Wrangler manuel transmission. I love them both but unfortunately can only have one. I will almost definitely be buying them new.
A little background information: I live in Houston and would primarily use it as a daily driver but go hunting about ten times a year and I like to play in the mud. I will be going to college once I graduate so is one better for a college student over the other. I plan on joining into the ROTC in college and serving in the military after I graduate. I don't know if I will be stationed over seas or here in the states. I like to go fishing at least once or twice a month. I love Jeep wranglers but I also love trucks and their utility purpose. I will most likely (hopefully) be going to college somewhere in the south like AandM or Auburn or LSU. I do enjoy going off roading and mudding about once a month or so on top of hunting.
I'm just looking on some advice from people who have owned either or who think one would be better for a college student or my situation over the other.
I feel like a jeep because i truck is too big and a jeep is the new thing plus its easier to drive
Unless your parents are Kardashian SKIP it Simple.
Hopefully you got educated adults locally to explain reality to you FAST
I would definitely go with the jeep they are much better offroad, get better gas milege, and will outlast any ford product. If you do get a truck, get a toyota, they will last longer than any other truck especially ford.
A truck is the lesser of the two evils cause jeeps have higher tip over rates.
And jeeps and teenagers just don't do well together.
TROLL!

- What car should I get for my first car? I'm 16 and about to buy my first car. I'm thinking about getting a 94 Ford Ranger (120k miles) with lifted suspension, off road tires, and a prerunner bumper. Would this be a reliable car throughout my high school years? Should I get that or should I just get a 2 door coupe?
- Should I get a Ford Ranger, or a Jeep Cherokee (XJ)? I'm shopping for a 1st car. I can't deside if I want to get a Ford Ranger or Jeep Cherokee! What do you think is better, and why? I would use my car for offroading, daily transportation, hauling wood to my camp, hunting, etc. I have a budget of around $3,000. I plan on keeping this car for a long time.
- Military Jeep Good First Car? I was wondering if old WW2 military jeeps were good first cars? I'm 14 and I'm looking for a durable and reliable vehicle that I can work on until I get my license at 16. How bad is the gas mileage? Are they even street legal? Are 1950s/60s regular civilian jeeps good better than military jeeps? I'd either like an old 70s ford or an old jeep… Thanks!
- What would be a good first car to get that you can get used Like, ford fusion, camri, civic, etc. These are just some examples, this is my first car and I'm not sure what to look for.
