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!

All the newer model Toyotas (including Tundra) use twin turbos with fewer cylinders (twin turbo V6 in the Tundra).
The other downside to a newer model Tundra (past ~2018? not sure when they switched it) is it doesn't have a proper front or rear bumper, there's no real way to even step up onto the thing in the back, and you have to get an aftermarket front bumper to use pull cables. If you want a utility step at the back at all it's extra, and more for the motorized one (meh). I personally ended up pulling back on getting one because of the engine, this and the below mentioned as well (would cost too much in aftermarket to fix for my taste, when other brands had stuff out of box).
The bed in the Tundra also has zero extra utility built in (pretty much all the other manufacturers do *something* with the bed that's useful, but Toyota doesn't).

Just some things to consider.
