You never forget the day you graduate, but this guy in California has even more of a reason to have this moment in his memories for a long time.
His dad wins the Dad of the Year award, celebrating his son’s big achievement by gifting him a brand new Blue Crush metallic i-Force 2.4-liter turbocharged Ford Tacoma – quite the first car.
There were massive smiles all around as the son saw the new Ford pickup, his dream car, enter the dealership, and he realized that it now belonged to him.
Hard work certainly paid off, and this dad didn’t want to let this milestone achievement pass by uncelebrated.
This truck is certainly a powerful first vehicle.
Gone are the days when your first car would be nearing the scrapheap, but this dad really pushed the boat out and went big with the Ford Tacoma.


The Tacoma can go from 0-60mph in just over 7 seconds and has a top speed of 106mph, more than fast enough for this kid to accelerate to a bright future.
ConGRADulations, we hope he has miles of smiles in his new awesome Ford Tacoma.
