*sings* I need a truck...
I need a truck. I'd like help in the form of suggestions/commentary.
My requirements:
Decent fuel economy-anything better than 10 MPG. Needs to be a daily driver, so I want decent fuel mileage, but anything over 10 is fine with me.
Must be a truck(no cars or SUV's unless they're broncos, blazers or similar). This is a bug out vehicle in addition to a daily driver, so I want to be able to haul a lot of s**t.
Must be able to last a while(years) before I have to get another, if I ever have to.
No hybrids. They are weak as hell, fragile and screw up easy as well as being a PITA to fix.
Minimal, or preferably no "emissions controls". They kill fuel mileage and don't amount to much of anything.
My goals:
Daily driver. I want to be able to go places in it that are too far to walk/bike.
Long trip. Going to SC(648.8 miles away) in december.
Bug out vehicle. I want to be able to bug out in it if need be, on road or off. Adding an aux fuel tank to it is going to happen, so that I can get an extra couple hundred miles out of it if I have to go a long way without stopping for fuel.
So, does anyone have any suggestions/commentary/flamage?

124-C lazycommie 124-C Mazda's B-series pickups are manufactured by Ford. Basically it's a Ranger with Mazda decals. After some googling, you've got that backwards. Early Mazdas were rebadged Fords. Now it's the other way around. Fords are rebadged Mazdas. Only in the international markets. For the North American market it's all Ford.
Proof plz.
