I LOVE driving! I've driven to Fallon, Nevada, and back in one day (about 470 miles round trip). I use my mom's car now, and she has an insurance policy that limits my driving to around 12k miles/year, so no more long trips. I hope to get an older pre-97 diesel pickup. (Pre-1997 diesels are smog-exempt in CA.) I've driven more than one car into the ground with my driving habits.
I wouldn't buy a pickup if you like taking road trips. It won't be good for your wallet. I'll look into buying a smaller car, preferably a foreign car as they are the cheapest on gas and much more reliable.
