Nice color, but if I had to drive a Toyota it'd be the 2019 Tundra. My first car when I was 17 was a 2015 Corolla. Great car even with 168k miles on it. Definitely couldn't say the same for an American car with over 100k miles.
I would say more depends on make and model and how it was maintained. When I was in the states my last vehicle was a 07 GMC Envoy Denali 5.3. I was the second owner. The original owner did all the scheduled maintenance when it was supposed to happen at GMC dealerships. I got it at 175k and it Stull drove like a brand new SUV. I brought it down a tad dropped a system into it. To bad I had to sell it before coming here to the Philippines.
The day I bought it
I took thus pic because of the numbers, buy it does show mileage
All the parts to lower it minus the new lower A arms hadn't arrived yet
Post lowering
Wow! I've never had much luck with mine. The Raptor has had many problems since I bought it, and my 2023 EscaladeV had transmission problems from the very day I bought it. Fortunately Caddilac fixed it, but I've had to work on the Raptor myself, which has been both fun and frustrating.
I have a Cadillac Deville 2002 with 200k+ miles on it, and it still purrs like a cat.
To be fair, though, the engine was replaced a while ago before I got it.
I did my homework on this one before buying. It's alot easier anymore if the previous owners had the maintenance etc don't at authorized places. The Carfax had 120 plus entries on it. Every oil change every 3k miles. All the major service points 50k, 100k, 150k. Had a couple parts replaced, steering position sensor, front wheel bearings, tire changes etc. Looked brand new inside and out. One minor scratch on the passenger side and the on/off knob on the radio was worn a bit other wise a brand new SUV.
I did my homework too, but I must've just not have great luck. My mom drove Escalades my entire childhood and never had problems, and my dad had a 1990-something Ford F-150 SVT Lightning and it was fine too.
The answer is contained right in the question: an EV "truck"...or a Real Truck? 
I saw an ad just yesterday for an electric Hummer...
Esox, I just did a quick calculation, and your 4500Kraputchniks equates to a bit over $8000Canadian. I'd buy a Cybertruck for that in a heartbeat, might even drive it once around the block...and would then sell it for a hefty mark-up to some wannabe environmentalist poseur anxious to virtue signal his enlightenment to the world.

I had to look this up krich when I got home from work. It's quite a machine by the looks of it, lol. I still can't make my mind up whether I'd look quite the part, or quite the prat, riding around on this with all my aero cycling lycra attire on, probably the latter!!
By the way, here's my expensive bike...
My kind of bike, right there! No shifting...no gears...coaster brakes...probably a bell!...cupholder, for cryin' out loud! That beast likely weighs more than both of your high-zoot cycles combined, Esox.
I'll admit I'd likely get a wire basket version...without the whitewalls...and in a men's model.
And, naturally, no spandex nor pointy helmets anywhere in sight!
