I would get something you can live with. A trailer might make more sense than a beater truck.
The Ridgeline is interesting, but for the ugly, and the bed that is so small I'm not sure why you'd bother.
That Colorado zr2 looks pretty cool, but you can get a lot of full-size truck for that kind of money.
Keep in mind that trucks with "trucky" 4wd systems aren't really great in normal inclement weather. They don't want to be in 4wd on any sort of dryish road. Also, there is no weight in the back so traction can be an issue.
edit:
I really don't know how people own homes without a truck. Mine comes in handy all the time.
edit II:
I don't know how much firewood you are thinking of hauling or how regularly, but you'll never even get a half-cord of wood on a utility trailer, or in a Colorado size truck.
