Toyota Corolla
This is a highly rated car, I just don't know if I trust the CVT transmission yet. I don't have any experience with them

I understand some here shite on Ram but.. I test drove them all and honestly they are making the best truck right now.
Had a brand new one I treated like a baby. Started having issues at 17,000 miles. Needed a part, they said it would take 6 months to come in. Traded the piece of shite in and got a Toyota

Not like those are used in millions of Hondas and Toyotas. Jury is still out.

Lol, I'm not spending 60k on one. There is a few out there for 10k and some for 20k but in this climate if you spend 60k you're an idiot, and you'll be paying 13% if you finance.

Way I see it buy what you want.
Most trucks are good but there is always a chance to get a bad one. All brands have their pros and cons.

I bought a '94 f150 single cab with the 4.9 with 82,000 miles for 3500 bucks last week. It'll probably still outlast any new $60,000+ truck bought today.

Ram makes the best truck on the road today, and it isn't close.

Honestly, if it is his first truck why not buy a base model around 30k instead?

Buying any vehicle new is tossing money on the fire.

My son will be buying the truck himself, he’s a grown man

Only two vehicles near the category I am touching new are a Jeep Wrangler or Toyota Tacoma. They simply hold their resale value insanely well.
I usually keep two vehicles for myself, a sporty car and something that can tow well so I am OK with older vehicles. A 5-10 year old full size luxury SUV is where I like to stay, they depreciate like crazy the first 5 years then hold on to value pretty well as long as you take care of them. If I got the new itch it would be settled with the two vehicles mentioned. A Tacoma can tow almost 7k with the V6 and is probably plenty of truck for the majority of the population.

Truck prices are stupid. I'll never buy another new one I guess unless we have a major market correction.

Ford Now Making $20,000 Avg in Profits Per Full Size F-Series
And that's on just the "average" price full size vehicle (XL) -- gouge (profits) are considerably higher on XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, SuperDutys, etc..... in some cases, $40,000 plus in profits per vehicle

Imagine 40k in pure profit on a high end F150. The rest of the trucks are similar, or better.
If you pay full price for one of these, you are an absolute sucker.
