In my opinion and actual experience with quality revolvers, the claimed benefits of revolvers being more tolerant of neglect, dirt, dust, etc. is highly overblown when compared to any quality modern semiauto. And this only becomes more true with something that will be kept in a weathertight area like your truck. I would not expect any reliability benefit there. The only reliability benefit I see is if you might need to shoot weak-handed at an awkward angle, or otherwise with no support - that might short-stroke and temporarily jam the auto, while it won't affect the revolver.
They're both good guns and are quite different from each other. I would forget any ideas that one has a reliability advantage (except in the noted scenario) and choose the one that you just like better.
