In your price range, I think an S10 or a Ranger is going to be the most likely to find. If you want a 4x4, in my experience the S10s tend to have fewer problems and you don't have to manually lock the hubs. They did make 4 cylinder Dakotas, but they are fairly rare, around here anyway. Avoid the V6 Dakotas for the obvious mileage issue. A Toyota or Nissan would be a better choice, but I think price range and rust issues will make it pretty hard to find one that will work for you. Good luck.
