BUT, I really don't have a lot of experience with buying a used truck, specifically regarding reliability. Does anyone here have any advice regarding buying a used truck?

I've owned a 97 Ranger, a 2005 Ranger, a 2000 Frontier and currently have a 2008 Tacoma.
I think the Toyota is better than them all - no real complaints.
I had bad luck with my Frontier even though it had ~80,000 kms which shouldn't be much for those. Everything seemed to go wrong with it even though it gets a 5/5 in Lemon-aid, so who knows. I guess I just had a lemon.
The Rangers were fine, but they basically haven't changed at all since the mid-90s so I'd steer clear for that reason alone.
