Default Bronco or a f150 for a teenage son

Am getting a project car for my 16 year old son. I don't spend a lot of time with him and am going to get one no mater the price. He want a old f_50 or a bronco. It will be 4x4 and I was just wondering what all I would be getting in to. Please help me decide. Btw he wants a charger but I lost so friend back in hs that killed them selves in them so that is a NO for that car

Forget about buying a Bronco or F150 for a 16 year old and just spend more time with him. Tell him that if he wants one he needs to earn the money for it. He obviously needs to start paying more attention in his english class and less time day dreaming about trucks and posting on forums.

Bronco's always seem to be rust buckets, usually more than pickups. If you get a Bronco plan on replacing the tailgate and 1/4 panels.

Yes, Bronco's roll all too easily.
