The (strange) manual transmission request is going to severely limit you. Do you want a truck or a sports car?

Anyway, I'd get a bigger truck unless you are planning on commuting with it into some tight parking garage or something. I get the desire for Toyota reliability, but those trucks are pretty miserable IMO. No power, weird low seat, and just general Toyota malaise.

Also: +1 on the TRD haha

Edit:
and +1 on muscling the snowblower into the bed is going to be annoying. I'm also not clear on how a truck can get from one side to the other, but a snow blower alone can't - why not walk the snow blower along the road?
