Which is cheaper ? Insurance on a small or mid size truck?

My son will be getting his license in a year and a half. I am thinking of going ahead & buying a used truck for him, and he can practice in it when he gets his learner's permit. He would like a truck. I have been encouraging him to get a smaller one, like a Toyota since it will be cheaper on gas, If I let him get a bigger one, like a mid size Chevy, would the insurance be cheaper. Where would I save more money--on a more fuel-efficient truck or a bigger one with cheaper insurance? I am thinking of 93-96 model years.

it depends on many things. I had an big old ford truck. the truck itself wasnt worth much, but it would cause a lot of damage to a car if i got in an accident so that made my insurance higher

insurance is also higher on 4x4s, bigger engines, value of the vehicle, etc.

i would think a smaller truck would be cheaper but itd be best to just ask your insurance company

as far as gas mileage goes, a toyota is only gonna give you better gas mileage if you get the 4cyl engine. however, even with the 4cyl, your only gonna get about 17-18 in the city

the toyota 3.0 v6 engine gets about 15 city, whereas chevy trucks get about the same.

you might be giving up a little big of mileage in the chevy, but they make it up in horsepower and torque

It really depends more upon the make than the size. Contact your insurance company and ask for truck rates by make and model.
