Toyota Tacoma extended or crew cab, or a first generation Toyota Tundra (smaller than current model) extended or crew cab. If you can find one, a Toyota T100 extended cab also ticks those boxes. All phenomenal trucks that will last forever.

My brother in law has a 2000 Dakota with the 5.9, the truck is slowly falling apart around him. It is a poorly made unreliable POS.
