(TL;dr near the bottom...)
We, too, went through unemployment hell, family members causing us thousands in losses, a repo, a foreclosure, and a judgment because of some bad advice we got when we were contemplating BK as a way to deal with all that.
At that time our houhold income was about what you're bringing before it all came crashing down, and stayed crashed for months.
We've been years recovering (we didn't end up filing for BK, though sometimes I wonder if we should have done). Eventually we each scored some great employment, the best we've ever had, $$$-wise and in many other ways.
But we don't spend like it. We _never_ want to be in those straits again, and we are putting back wads of cash to make sure of it.
Back to the truck that is more expensive than some homes(!). Not great homes in great locations, but easily a decent down payment for many that are. I get how the size is a need, not a nice-to-have. I, too, am nearly 6' tall, with back injuries and mobility issues, and on top of it all, obese. I don't get to drive just any old thing, either.
You're right - you really are looking at trucks and SUVs, or some older sedans. You state that driving Uber/Lyft is of interest. I strongly suggest you look deeply and carefully at that - many people make minimum wage or less once the costs are completely factored in, and no, you don't get to use your personal insurance to do it. You'll be on the hook for amenities people have come to expect in the car, such as water, snacks, car chargers (for all Android and Apple connectors). You'll be spending money on professional cleaning from time to time, between the sheeer number of people you'll drive around, as well as what some of them will do to your interior. Count on going to the car wash for external cleaning more than you're used to. And if people don't like your ride, or your music, or your personality, or...or...or, it doesn't take more than a few 4 out of 4 scores (or lower) to affect or even eliminate your business.
If it's a super nice truck and if you live somewhere where Turo is used for such things, you might be able to rent it to others that way from time to time. But again, your insurance won't cover it - you'll need a rider from someone.
Do you live in a dodgy neighborhood? No judgment - it's all we could get in the midst of our troubles, and we're actually in a different dodgy 'hood now because we save a LOT on rent. There's no way we would have a new-new car here, nor even a good-looking used car. Our car insurance rates reflect the neighborhood, too.
For a data point, nowadays hubby and I pull down together about 3x what you're making, and there's no way in any of seven hells that we'd be shopping that vehicle you're looking at, and I do want a truck (again) some day. Maybe once I've put aside that much for AND bought a generally non-depreciating asset, such as a home.
We picked up a $500 2004 minivan from a friend of a friend of a friend a few months ago to replace our 2003 sedan that we'd driven into the ground. We were doing some initial shopping for a vehicle before this boon fell into our laps, and we were unwilling to go north of $20K.because of our other goals (homeownership again, and maxxing retirement & HSA).
There's a non-zero chance we're about to spend a good chunk of money on replacing the S belt. It's an older vehicle - it happens. But we haven't had a car payment with this car. What we're about to spend at the repair shop isn't gonna be pretty - but it's still less than a single payment on a$30+K vehicle would be, let alone at the usurious rates you're entertaining.
No, I don't think you're going to be able to get into that truck. I do realize that the reasons behind your finances being the way they are, are varied, and that you're working the situation. I am confident, though, that this will mean nothing to the gimlet-eyed financier who is giving you the hairy eyeball, uninterested in why you are where you are - only that you're there. Others have explained the reasoning; I don't want to pile on.
TL;dr - My opinion is that no, you won't get the truck; if by some unfortunate miracle you do, you won't be able to keep it.
Yet.
But someday, if you play your cards right, yes. Maybe even in just a couple of years.
In the meantime, I like Subaru Foresters - they're kinda bulletproof, and very friendly to tall women, and tall women of size. I was pleasantly shocked by a friend's Kia(!) - mid-aughts, a joy to ride in. Mid-aughts Chrysler minivans are also comfortable, but I have questions about their reliability. The Dodge Neons of the mid-90s - very workable, comfort-wise, much more than you'd expect looking from the outside. Now we're looking at pretty old cars, but there were lots made, they're easy to work on because they were designed for aftermarket monkeying-around (it's an old SCCA favorite), and parts remain plentiful.
Again, something reliable enough to get you by for now.
Living well within our means is allowing us to not just dig out of that hole of a few years ago, but make up for quite a bit of lost earnings, and put back enough so that if we both lost our jobs tomorrow, we'd be fine for months. It's taken a while to get here. We wouldn't be here if we'd bought that expensive a vehicle. We use rapidly-depreciating computers to make our living - that's bad enough! I'm tellin' ya - the release of the FEAR, the ever-present fear of being a paycheck or two at most away from falling back into the abyss, makes our frugal approach so totally worth it.
There's a difference between being able to pay for something, and being able to afford it. I recommend never confusing the two.
I'm on the outside looking in - only you can run your spreadsheet and budget projections. I urge that you note the hidden expenses of ride-sharing, haunt their drivers' message boards, and make the decision/s that work the best for you and yours (not us 
). Best of luck!
Update to my novel, above: Two serpentine belts needed to be replaced. Set us back $227, or just a shade more than 1/4 of a single $1K truck payment (that we don't have to make because we didn't go into deep debt at sub-prime rates to buy the vehicle).
There was a time where the timing of that bill, coming two days before rent was due, would have caused some extreme stress. Thanks to what I've learned and put into practice from this board, not anymore.
To the OP - please consider the advice in this thread more than any imagined OR even any real condescention. It's solid.
Did you buy your $1000 per month truck yet?
