Thinking of getting a used compact truck (a bit long)

So I am thinking of getting a used small truck and have been cruising the classified adds. I want something with 4wd and reasonably good gas mileage (well as good as one would expect from a 4wd). My budget though is around $4000. I really like the old Toyota trucks but they are usually quite overpriced around here ($4000 will get you an 89-94 with ~180k miles). So my other options seem to be a 94-97 Nissan, 96-98 S-10 or 95-98 ranger (B-series). I haven't heard too many good things about the Dakota so it is not on my list. So any thoughts on whether my money would be better spent on an older Toyota or get one of the others newer with fewer miles?
Any and all advice is appreciated.
