Get rid of this requirement and get a Tundra
If not, I highly recommend the Tacoma. I had a 2008 Tacoma. 70,000 miles on it and never had anything go wrong. Only reason I got rid of it back in December was to upgrade to a Tundra.

New tacos have a much better interior than the old ones

It was semi-tongue in cheek
Although, Toyota makes great trucks and I love my Tundra. Why not recommend it?

Just wait until you see all the accessory and option choices on the unit you decide on.

If you don't care about having a super nice interior I would recommend a Frontier. I had a 2011 Xterra which is mechanically identical to a 2016 Frontier. 4.5 years, 66,000 pretty hard miles and 3 Montana winters and the only unscheduled repair I ever made was the rear main seal on the transfer case. Blew it out by crawling on rocks in 4LO for 3 hours.
Great reliable vehicle. Did everything I ever asked it to and then some. Beat the everloving shite out of mine regularly and never had to do any suspension work. Not even an alignment. I wished I had gotten a 6-speed Frontier King Cab though. You can probably get an excellent deal on one since I know Nissan almost has to pay people to buy new ones.
You can get a top of the line Pro-4X for pretty far under $35k too.

Since you want to move a motorcycle in the bed, i highly recommend a truck with an 8 ft bed so that you can close the tailgate while moving it.
Do you need crew cab or will extended be enough?
Good point but once you decide you need an 8' box your options are very limited unless you want a regular cab in a light duty pickup.
Dodge-8' box regular cab only
Chevy-8' box regular cab only
Ford-8' box super cab/reg cab only and likely special order above XL trim
Toyota-8' box available only in regular cab or SR5 super cab silver/white only
Nissan Titan-8' box unavailable
The 8' box on my current Ford is great and I wouldn't have a truck without it but it is getting harder to find in a light duty pickup.
Keep in mind with a 6.5' box or less once you put a toolbox in it you can barely haul a four wheeler even with the tailgate down.

Email me (under my profile), have certified Tacoma models or build you a new 2016 Tacoma for all under that price.

Bentley SUV or the Range Rover

I picked this up a couple months ago for $36K. I love the new Colorados and Canyons. They do have bells and whistles but not as elaborate and luxurious as a full size truck.

OT status for sure.
Posted on 6/14/16 at 6:47 pm to PhilipMarlowe
When GM offers the 10k off the Silverados, find a dealership that gives it. My cousin got a 14 crew cab 4x4 for 34k. No leather but has the touch screen radio and reverse cam. Most places will offer to add leather for around 1k if your really want them.

Tacoma. Proven / Reliable.

[/URL][/img] Bought my canyon in October. 36,500 sticker for SLT 2wd with all tech they had. Got out of there for 32,500... add 4k for 4 wheel drive and 1,800 for diesels.
Tows 7k, my boat is only 1,500.
12,500 miles so far, 1 recall for a latch in center console.
Averaging 22 mpg on work commute. I have gotten 28 mpg at 60 mph cruising the coast.
