Good to see all the pickup truck drivers waving their huge cocks around again. I'm surprised that any of them find the room for their massive balls in anything short of a long-box. Why would OP care how well any truck lasts out in the oilfields or on a contractors jobsite? You don't cook a Thanksgiving turkey in a microwave. I'm surprsied you don't all own Megacabs cuz nothing else has room for your huge volume of misconception and ego.
Dear OP,
For the uses you have stated, ANY of the current and previous generation full-size, half-ton pickups will perform reliably for the tasks you have and will choose. Sure, there are lemons in every batch, but there is no way for you to know which truck that is going to be, so you're just gonna have to take your chances. How well you maintain the vehicle and how much abuse you put it through will matter far more to the longevity of the truck than what nameplate is on the front. Unless, of course, you plan on running it through a Desert Sands obstacle course on a daily basis (like most of the truck owners here).
Go out and drive one each of the following:
Dodge Ram 1500
Chevy or GMC 1500
Ford F-150
Toyota Tundra
You can skip the Honda Ridgeline, it's not full-size, the bed is too small for your needs and the fuel economy benefit is negligible.
You may want to consider a Chevy Avalanche and see if it's size will work for you.
Let your salesman know that you want a nice, long test drive and that you won't be buying anything until you have driven each one. If he pitches a fit, go find another dealer. Pay attention to how things are layed out. Can you easily reach the things you need most? Pull into an empty parking lot and check out the turning radius. Try some hard braking to see how well it stays in control. Just like everyone has different tastes in mattresses, so is the ride of a truck. Drive it for awhile and see if you like the ride. You will like some and hate others. Eliminate the ones you don't feel great about.
Then, figure out exactly which features you want in the truck and price them out. If only one truck felt good, then this will be very easy.
Finally, ignore most of the info here. It's just plain brand ego running like rats out of a burning building and each one knows that there's only one way out.
