Question to Mechanics who work on small trucks

Hello,
I am awaiting to hear from my insurance company after my accident, to hear if the car will be a loss.
If i need to get another vehicle i would prefer a "inexpensive" small truck (s-10, ranger, foreign)

My question is, in your opinions;

What is the easiest truck(s) to repair, maintain, purchase parts for? etc?

Probably looking in $3k range.

Thank You,

Tony

toyotas r the best (tacoma) but for 3k you should probaly go with ranger or S10 because you will get a newer truck with less miles than if you went with a yota. just my .02
