What is the most reliable engine for a Ford Ranger?

I am in the market for a reliable Ford Ranger and want to know which engine option is the most trustworthy. Should I go for the base 2.5L 4-cylinder or spend extra on the 2.3L EcoBoost? I will mainly be using the truck for hauling and off-roading.
