Thanks for all opinions. It's not that I never seen new truck before, just that I never pay attention. Today, while at Home Depot parking lot, I came close to look at the different between 2 seaters truck and 4,5 seaters one. What the different. Those 4, 5 seaters modern type truck is not a truck. The bed is way too short for the trucking purpose.

I am back to the Tacoma. My brother has one so I know how "weak" it is, but it is very reliable. How about Ford F150 or Ranger? Is it as reliable as the Tacoma, at the age of 150k+ miles? Since this is something I need to be able to rely on when I need to, I don't want it to rely on me for repair/maintenance. I am thinking of between $2k to $3k or so, so maybe around 199x year model.
