I can second Antony's vote for the Ranger. My brother has one pushing 200,000 miles and the only real prob was an auto trannie that blew it's guts last year. And he's not easy on his vehicles. But go for the post '93 model, with the 4.0 liter V-6. The early 4-bangers liked to crack heads and blow head gaskets.
On at least an equal basis, if not better, would be a Toyota. I've not owned one myself, but have plenty of friends and relatives who have/had. Bullet proof comes to mind.
