Lightbulb Educate me on inexpensive trucks! (Thinking 4x4 I4 Japanese)

Looking for an early 90s pickup truck.

Want to keep total cost under 5k. Maybe 3k purchase, 2k for maintenance (would like to hold some of it, but we'll see), or something fairly maintained for 4k.

ABS, airbag(s) would be a plus. Manual is a must for something in this price range.

I have NOTHING to tow, it may be used to move a bed or a couch. It's really a backup for my daily driver.

So, 90-99 is probably the year range I'm looking at.

Thinking Japanese trucks for reliability/easy to work on/inexpensive parts. 4x4 would be ideal to have something that would be okay in winter (with winter tires too).

Thoughts? Thanks PParts.
