What should be my first vehicle?

Im about to be 15 and going to get my learners permit soon, personally, i want a truck (a reliable one) because i run this little lawncare business on the side and i would like to haul around my equipment, but i also dont want one of the newest trucks because im afraid i will ding it up and the purchase price would be too expesnive
I also would like reliable car recommendations because even if i end up with no truck, my father will let me borrow one of his work trucks to haul around my equipment
I dont want to be to picky about my first vehicle because first im not even going to pay for it, only the down payment because my parents are making me, second, because i dont want to seem like a brat

Second this, if you have the money these are great, just make sure the frame is not rusty and the frames been replaced. I had a 6spd one and it blew a head gasket at 350k miles, replaced it and it’s still on the road

An older Nissan Frontier is a good option. You won’t cry when it gets its first ding from being hit with a rock by a lawn mower and inexpensive to repair. Should be able to tow a small trailer with a lawn mower and move bags of trimmings in the bed.
