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. |
