What is better for a frist time driver a car or a truck?
i turn 16 soon and i am not sure if i should get a car, a SUV, or a truck. I am thinking car because it will be cheaper to insure and cheaper for gas. But at the same time i am a boy and a truck looks pretty cool. any other thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

they both have advantages and disadvantages. plus, it all depends on what kind of car or truck you want to get. small cars are easier to drive for the most part, they get good gas mileage, and it's really easy to maneuver them around if you're newer to driving. some smaller pickup trucks actually have about the same insurance costs as most cars, however most of which use more gas. a benefit of driving a truck is that you're usually seated high up, which gives you more visibility while driving. I'd say avoid the SUV if you don't really need it, it's just going to eat gas and run up your insurance.
