I need some advice on buying a new car/shitbox. I have been driving my cousin's unused Ford Escape Hybrid for the better part of a year now. I can't keep this up. I also want a small truck. (I will actually use this as a truck.)

To sum up my wants; extended cab, manual for that +1MPG, and reliability/easy repairs.

Here are my top picks and my perceptions of them.

Chevrolet S10
+ACDelco
-typical Chevy fuel pump whine
-all older models

Ford Ranger
+new models available
+popularity and domesticity makes parts cheap
-"disposable(?)" truck

Toyota Tacoma
+Toyota reliability (<2010 I think)
-Toyota tax

As some background I live in New England and would like 4x4. But I will really miss the 28MPG (summer) that the escape gets. My ideal setup is 4banger, 5spd 4x4, extended cab.

What do you think the best comprise is? I really cant spend more than a few grand.
