I need a pickup to replace my old '79 Ford. I need a full size bed, and something dependable with good gas milage. I don't drive it a lot, but I live in a very rural location, and I do all of the repairs and maintenance myself.
Four wheel drive would be nice, but not if it is a maintenance nighhtmare.
I plan on owning this another 20 or 30 years.

Toyota definitely. The guys on the BBC TV program Top Gear tried to destroy one but couldn't. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/ select Watch Videos, click the Stunts tab and click on Indestructable truck.

Most Reliable Pickup Trucks

NO full-size pickup truck is "good" on gas, but the best & also most reliable is a Toyota Tundra. HOnda Ridgeline is a better vehicle (and gets better gas mileage) but does not have a full size bed. ALL of the full-size Ford, Chevy, GMC and Dodge pickups are very unreliable and get very bad gas mileage. Just check Consumer Reports, and you'll see what I mean. Good Luck. A toyota or HOnda will easily last 20 yrs if well cared for.
