we don't have plow trucks in colorado. I lived in the midwest and the second snow would start falling, trucks would get running. Here, we just wait for the sun to melt everything.

I say to each their own.
My grandfather set every one of his kid's up with a running vehicle so they to get to/from school/work. They're weren't new or expensive, but they all ran fine. Until Dad put a four barrel in his Firebird and ended up having to use the saw to cut a hole in the hood.

Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ are AWD (fulltime 4x4 option) and cheap and good.
This. those mid 90's Cherokees run forever.
I tried to get my son (who just turned 18) to take our beater Cherokee with him to college in SLO..... but he ended up buying himself a car that he wanted. (I had to spot him $400, but he paid for the majority of it.) It is actually the 2nd vehicle that he bought with his own $$. Lets just say that what he bought is not the best choice for a 18 year old kid in San Luis Obispo.

My father bought my first truck. 3 years later I bought my own and gave it to my sibling who drove it for another 4 years. It's now sitting in the barn.
For the past 5 years my dad was driving my vehicles and using my trailers. I bought back his first truck and gave it to him for his 60th birthday. One of the only times in my life I saw him get choked up.
Dont always have to be a douchebag hardass.

If not you dodged a bullet. Hell, two bullets.
Yes, both 98's :D
Wait wait wait...
I think he has a point. It checks all your boxes and then some.
cheap - check
<100000 miles - check
AWD - check
only goes 55 mph - he can't get in trouble
can haul a load, push a plow - he can make his own money
heavy truck - safer in a crash
reliability - well, 6 out of 7 ain't bad

Single cab, Manual 4x4 Ranger.
Perfect starter vehicle for anyone. The single cab keeps them from fitting more than 3-4 people in it and the manual keeps their friends from driving as well as generally keeps distractions down ( I know most of us can drive, drink and eat while talking on a phone and shifting but that takes time to learn

Yes, and also 96-01 V8 Explorer... if you can find one its a 500k mile vehicle that never needs anything passed consumables. Unfortunately the only ones I see around here are methed out with trash bag windows and covered with 5 finger deathpunch stickers.

Ive fit 8 into an extended cab ranger. I know whats possible, but people usually don't want a repeat after experiencing that.

my neighbors wife died in the middle of a snow storm, it took 3 days before they got the road plowed to get her. i didn't have the heart to ask him if he chucked her out on the porch. if i lived at my place year round i would damn sure have my own plow truck. apparently no one in my valley does.

I believe that requires a mullet to drive.. I could be wrong.

Tell him to man the fuck up and earn his own car. Or buy him a $500 shit box. I’d say early 90s f150. Then tell him to learn how to fix his own shit. Unless of course your son is actually a daughter in which case the advice changes and your budget is to low.
