I have a 2013 Tacoma short bed. The bed extender is mandatory. I have put a variety of kayaks in the back: PA 14, Outback, Tarpon 120, Revolution 13. When I went into my Revolution 16, I had to get racks.
As Andy mentioned, make sure to red flag the load.
Brands are going to be one's preference, but having had an old Hilux, I think Toyota makes a very reliable truck.
I would also recommend looking at the Subaru line. Good cars, AWD and decent stock ground clearance.
