Well the maverick I ordered for my kiddo came in this week. Me and my wife surprised him when he got out of school. Excited to see what he wants to do to modify it once he starts earning money. I built an air bagged 98 ford ranger back in the day for my first vehicle.

If dad can help his son, who I am to say anything. I would do this for both my adult kids if I could. They both deserve it.

I've worked hard to provide for my family (built a good life). He understands he will have to work for this vehicle both academically and monetarily to keep it. Nothing is given in life for free. I understand your point (though a little excessive comparing a maverick to a 70K electric truck) and have real reservations about giving any 16 year old a new vehicle. Ultimately the safety features of newer vehicles out weighed giving him my older F150.

I did the same thing with my son when he got his drivers licence, got him a 1998 Chevy S-10 standard shift. (Only held 2 people, stick shift, all men should know how to drive stick), good visability for easy parking) Since then, he has always had a truck, plus a daily driver. His latest truck is a Sierra Denali 2500 Diesel to haul his car trailer. Your son will be thanking you for the rest of his life for making him a "Truck Guy"
