What truck or SUV should I get?

I'm looking at getting a truck. I probably won't be getting one for a year or two but I thought I should just start learning about what's out there ahead of time. I really like the R:150 Raptor but I read the new one is going to have a base price of $50,000, that is a lot more than I want to spend, and the MPG is pretty bad (not that I was expecting it to be great, but it was lower then I previously heard). So unless those numbers change within a year I'm probably not going to get a Raptor at this point in my life. I like the 4runner/tacoma TRD PRO, and the MPG is a little better on those than the Raptor. I heard to new Colorado was good, but I know Chevy has had some problems in the past. But I guess Ford has to, so that doesn't really matter. I'de love some truck guys perspective on what truck/or SUV I should get.

As you get older you will gain some confidence and not feel the need to by vehicles that enhance your manhood. We do make fun of those that drive Raptors and other silly machines. They will never get their money's worth.

  • What kind of SUV should I buy? I currently have a 2013 Ford Fusion that has given me an array of problems. We're wanting a mid-sized SUV, like a Hyundai Sante Fe Sport, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 etc. I don't need high tech or fancy and can't afford the luxury kind. Just one that has good gas mileage, reliable for years to come, easy to drive and one that has clear sight lines. With my current car, I can barely see out of it simply to back up. Also, any suggestions can be a couple years old.
  • What suv/crossover should i get? I have to get it on a lease. And thats final. I'm 16 and i work. I don't want a little car. I like the ford edge, flex and Lincoln mkc. Any other options?
