Which truck?

Which truck?
Ive been a member here for years, but never posted, somehow my registeration was lost so I had to re-register.
We are planning on moving from Georgia to Flagstaff AZ. I just sold my 09 F150 and am looking for another truck.
Flagstff gets about 100 in of snow a year, the elevation is 7000 ft. I want 4wd, FI, AT, I dont really care if the hubs are manual or not. I will occasional tow a trailer with 1800 lbs of motorcycles. I have a couple pups so I need a covered bed as well. I only want to spend a maximum of 10k, the truck has to be rock solid reliable.
What do I buy?
Im considering a F150, Bronco, Explorer, Expedition.
I like the 90-96 F150 or Bronco, the Explorer is ok, but whimpy for towing, the Expedition is huge but there are alot of them for sale in my price range.
Opinions?

Im still looking. Found a few really nice Broncos but the asking price is way out there.
If I buy a 90-96 Bronco/F150 regardless of milege, I figure that it will need a full service, belts, hoses, filters, ect.
Unless the seller can document that the service has been done Im assuming that it needs to be done. At 16-22 years old Im not getting out on the Interstate away from home when a radiator hose or a wheel bearing lets go.
The ones that are in nice condition with less than 100k have top dollar asking prices. Im not paying top dollar unless the vehicle is road ready and in top condition.
Im hoping to buy in the next week or two, Ive got cash and cash is KING.
