it probably depends on what motor as well. are you talking used or new? I would go either tundra or F150 with the 5.0. either way, a N/A V8 is going to last longer than a turbo 6.

New. I’d like to know which model, speaking as generally as possible, tends to be more known for lasting a long time. But if engine type or other configurations make a world of difference for a given model, I’m definitely interested to know what the best specific configuration is too.
Maybe it’s the case that “generally” brand X tends to be known for being dependable, but brand Y with the Z-package is the best option.
In terms of long lasting, and reliability, I have to say my 2002 Dakota R/T.
I bought it new in 2002, and it still runs perfectly.
The only things I changed in all those years is the water pump and battery.
Tires of course, but not due to wear, but age.
Has been an exceptional truck since day one.

I would go with either model I mentioned. GM and RAM make garbage. I would get a tundra or the F150 with the 5.0L. I would also stick to more base models, as there is much less that could go wrong. the tundra is a dinosaur as far as trucks go, but they've used the same engine and transmission forever, so it will last forever. they've perfected it. horrific gas mileage though.
Our F-150 is a 1999 bought 1998, body and paint still perfect, and as far as cost upkeep, it has been 3 batteries, one spark plug change at 100,000 miles. It gets regular service.
