    My grandson is turning 16 soon. Looking for something reliable in the $5000.00 range. Small pickup preferred.
    I buy him a truck. He hauls games for me!

    Some nice looking Toyota classics are sure to be on your local craigslist.

    Good luck with that. Smaller trucks like Tacomas and Frontiers command crazy money around here if they are low mileage and decent shape.

    I was going to suggest a van because they make much better pin haulers until I read your post. Most teenagers wouldn't get caught dead in a van!

    Anyway good luck with your search!

    It wasn't always that way. Back when I was a teen the coolest kids in high school owned vans. And they got the girls too.

    I remember those days! "Got the girls" is typically what was going on in the back of the van. But not much good for a pin hauler with the bed in the back!

    Oh the fancy interiors of some of those 70s vans. Home away from home....

    Funny, I sent my son a link to the van that is for sale here on Pinside. He laughed and said kids today would not be caught dead in a van! My first 2 vehicles were vans back in the late 60's. Everyone was envious! Times have changed.
