I think your finances should be OK if you don't buy new. I would buy something about 5 years old. Right now you should be looking at 5'rs that are 2 years old to find one or maybe two models you want so they will be 5 years old when you retire and are ready to buy. And maybe at year four if a really good buy comes along, be ready to grab it.
There's a lot more trucks than 5'rs out there, so I would't be too worried about them yet, but by deciding on the 5'r you will know what you need for a truck. All of the brands are about the same but you need to know your weights, single or dually, gas or diesel, long bed or short, etc.
You can always change your mind later, but at that point you should have enough research behind you to really base your decision on.
