In that range you could be a nearly-new Nissan Frontier 4X4. Extended cab for the longer bed if you don't need the crew. They're still pretty old-school compared to the competition. Sure, they burn more gas than the more modern baby-trucks but they're pretty well proven. It should give you all the capability you could want.
