Tips on Buying Cars: Truck Purchase, chevy colorado, asian company

Question
I am beginning to look for a 4 wheel drive pickup, and I need some help.  I would like to spend $20,000 or less.  Do you have any suggestions about which vehicles to look at or which to avoid.  I have looked at a couple small Fords, the Dodge Dakota, the Chevy Colorado, and the Toyota Tacoma.  Any tips on any of these.  I was wondering if the Tacoma would be harder to repair because it is an Asian company.  Any other tips on good or bad trucks would be great.  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Jason., I am kind of biased on this one because of my Ford background. The Ranger has been the nuber one selling compact truck for many years now. But style and resale in mind I would personally go with the Tacoma. Just my opinion though. Please leve feedback and if you have any ohter questions do not hesitate to ask.
