I’m interested in getting a used truck and wanted to see if there are any makes/models in the 2000/2010s that people more knowledgeable than me would recommend. I’d say performance is less of a concern than reliability for me. Thanks!

12 valve 5.9 Cummins engines use mechanical injection, which combined with a manual transmission makes it EMP proof, and also just more reliable because it uses no electricity.
The later years 5.9 Cummins with 24 valves started using electronics to run the engine and pump fuel. Still extremely reliable but if you’re looking for a truly mechanical apocalypse vehicle… 5.9 cummins turbo diesel 12 valve and a manual transmission is your ticket
