I currently drive a Nissan Frontier and if I had to get another similar size truck, I'd go with another Nissan or a Toyota.
@druryj if I were closer to the norm height wise and in the market for a new truck I'd be looking at, in no particular order, either a Titan or Tacoma......I know a couple of fellas that have them and they couldn't be happier.

GMC Canyon with Diesel.
Ford Ranger
Had a '94 for many years that belonged to my grandfather. He was a 6'3" farmer and a full-size truck guy all his life. He bought a Ranger after riding around in the small truck I was driving right after I got out of high school. When he passed, we brought the truck here. Ran great for a long time on that 2.3L 4cyl.
If I wasn't looking to get full-size F150 this last time I would have gone with the Ranger.
I'm a fan of the EcoBoost engine and the Ranger's 2.3L is lightyears ahead of my old motor.

Nissan Frontier or Tacoma. I am still driving my 2005 Frontier and really like it. My son bought a 2019 Frontier crew cab and likes his also. Only wish they had the crew when I bought mine. They came out 6 mos later. lol.
After riding in a Tacoma several times and driving a couple, I’ve been leaning toward a Honda Ridgeline with AWD. Not as off-road capable, but way more comfortable than the Taco for in-town and road use.
I'd pick something ya don't need a step-ladder to get into (if they even make one anymore).
Went to several car lots last summer with a couple of nephews looking at pickups and mini-vans. With a bum knee, the only thing I could easily get into were the mini-vans. :/
Luck.

Unless you need a massive truck for towing or monster mudding, consider a Honda Ridgeline.
Very well built, excellent ride, fits in garage easily, good fuel economy, very reliable Honda reliability.

My neighbor has one, as does my brother in Alabama. I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed with the Ridgeline. The Tacomas are also quite good trucks.After riding in a Tacoma several times and driving a couple, I’ve been leaning toward a Honda Ridgeline with AWD.
