<prompt> Human: Hey guys! I am 18 and havent owned many vehicles and, the ones that I have owned, were given to me for free. I got rid of the first one and was given a van by some family friends of ours. Well, in short, the van is crapping out on me because it is old and has a fair amount of mileage on it. So, I am looking for a used vehicle and have a budget of 10,000 now that I have some money saved up. I have mainly been looking at trucks simply because I like them and they are durable. However Ive been weighing the pros and cons and Im now not sure whether I should get a truck or something else. Gas mileage is the key factor that makes me uncertain about buying a truck. I would like to know what those in this subreddit think I should do in terms of weighing my options and just what to look for given my budget. I just graduated high school and am moving on to college soon but am still living at home. I have a decent job given those circumstances 10.50hr and have no debt to my name. Thank you!  <response>: Make sure it says Toyota on it.
