My next truck is going to have a carb, no matter how old it is.
You can have it. Carburetor rebuilds - leaky floats, sticky and leaky
needle valves, bad accellerator pumps, sticky and malfunctioning
chokes, bad fuel mileage and high exhaust emissions, perculation when
hot - all the problems that have been virtually eliminated by fuel
injection

Agreed! Fuel injection is much simpler and reliable... and with OBDII
easier to troubleshoot

If your after a truck, get a for real truck... not one of those
expensive 'truck like product' gimmicks that seem to be everywhere
now... go for a Tundra or Tacoma.

Or a base F150 or GMC Sierra

The F-150 is what I have now, but this one has been a lemon and will
soon be sold.

I had a GMC Sierra and it was a decent truck till it just started to
wear out, but it had lots of miles on it. I tend to have better luck
with GM than Ford vehicles. I've considered a Dodge, but I'm not
sure...

The Dodge isn't a bad truck either - and cheaper than the rest.
