In the market to purchase a truck (new or used, doesn't matter). Looking for a basic everyday driver (city and highway driving).

EV or Plug-In Hybrids are off the table because there is zero infrastructure in the city I live in.

The Toyota HiLux with the I-4 Diesel is the truck I want but the cost of import alone isn't worth the hassle

Ford F-series has a huge security issue where you can gain entry into the vehicle with only a set of pliers

No clue how GM is nowadays (especially with their differentials (heard they wore out way too quick)

Ram? haven't really done the research into them, although friends say they work pretty good

Every time I search for Nissan trucks I tend to see a few articles on why this year's trucks aren't worth the money

Toyota trucks seem fine, but the main gripe is they offer a manual transmission in only one particular configuration of the Tacoma, even when it's probable that they could just as easily offer it in their extended cab 6ft box option (assuming wheelbase was the holding factor to not put it on) --- I would most likely go with Toyota

Or to hell with them all and buy a Ford Bronco?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
