Ultimately it's your money, and you can spend it however you want. My question would be, look at maybe a $30K truck. The depreciation on vehicles are ridiculous, so I would try to squeeze down a bit on expense, but that's just me.
This is good advice. A 2015/2016 Toyota Tacoma or Chevy Colorado 4 door could be had for under $35,000 very well equipped...and even less if you are cautious with the options. They would get better mileage than a full sized rig, take up less space in the driveway/garage, go almost anywhere off road, last hundreds of thousands of miles, and tow 6,000-7,000 lbs.
For 90% of truck buyers, that's a perfect fit and a reasonable price.

If you are cautious with the options, you can buy a full sized truck for about the same as a midsized truck
The tacomas and colorados are extremely overpriced for what you are getting compared to a similarly equipped full size

You can buy a (ETA: Well equipped... i.e Lariat F150, LTZ Silverado, etc) fullsize crew cab for $35k, or very close to it. When you're talking about spending a lot of money on a vehicle that you plan to drive for a long time, why compromise?

"For 90% of truck buyers" More like for 99.9% of truck buyers, this shouldn't even factor into the decision.

Full sizes do just the same.
