I like my '16 F150 supercrew with the 3.5 ecoboost/6 spd & 6.5' bed. Am at 130,000 miles currently, have oil changed at the dealer every 5000 miles. I tow a lot with it, no major issues so far. I did have to change out the exhaust manifolds, which is a common issue on these. Changed the spark plugs & coils & flushed trans at 100,000 miles.
I know a master mechanic at Ford and he says the 3.5 is pretty reliable and the 6 speed is better than the 10 spd. He says the 5.0 liters have their issues also.

You missed a unicorn in that 97 F250, IMO

:yeah:
The AWD Ecoboost Transit is awesome. They are still hard to find and will be out of your 30K budget but if you can stretch it should meet your needs.
You can get the AWD with the 3.5L PFDI engine if you aren't an Ecoboost fan.

Little over your budget but so far I have liked my f-150 hybrid. I get around 23 mpg driving around town and then depending on the highway, anywhere from 22-25 mpg and it pulls our horse trail just fine. The on board power is pretty cool and takes place of a generator. Looking foward to using it this summer at my cabin for all my power tools, recharging batteries etc.
