I would warn against anyones blanketed statements of a brand or model. It really has started coming down to a generation or year of vehicle. For example the Tacoma's HUGE rust issue where the frame would rust out and had to be replaced. Ford's 5.4L that had spark plug issues (but this is only a select range of years, not all). Ram's trans problems, etc.
I know a few guys with ford ecoboosts and love the mpg etc for daily driving. The ram is a gorgeous truck and the new trans and engines are holding up. Chevy seems to be solid as well except their 6.2L having some pcv issues.
Really you should as recommended above, get a few models and try them out. Then work it down until you pick one.
