I am very interested in kind of truck like this one, not exactly the same, but alike, please see pictures. Is there any set of recent years (because price won't rise too much) with trucks like this? Please recommend a few....

You can pick up 4643 quite cheap second hand on ebay / BL. Or just download the instructions and change the colours for variation. Or mix and match parts from both to make other but similar cabs.

I don't buy used sets because it's difficult to verify every bricks. 

4643 is a great recommendation because I never knew about this set, but its price 

for new set has increased a lot so it's not my consideration.

I find it simple, you ask the seller if it is complete. Even easier on bricklink where sellers can sell as complete or incomplete.

There's the 60183 Heavy Cargo Transport from 2018 but still available on Amazon below MSRP and (the similar, but more non-truck stuff included) 60049 Helicopter Transporter  from 2014 (but still available on Amazon at only $10 over original MSRP.    There's also the 60151 Dragster Transporter from 2017, but that involves more shopping around as it originally retailed for $30 and some vendors are asking for nearly twice that (mint in box) which I think is a bit ridiculous for a 300 piece City set (the same goes for 60079 Jet Transporter ).  

The 79116 Big Rig Snow Getaway had a nice looking Semi (and actually the other truck wasn't bad either) and despite being from six years ago (and a licensed set at that) the price wasn't bad and hasn't really appreciated/inflated over time (one Amazon vendor was selling at MSRP, several others were <$10 over MSRP as of the time of this writing).  In part you're paying for TMNT mini-figs, but you could probably resell those individually to recoup some money if all you're after are the trucks (which, to be honest, was the only reason I got one back in the day).

Thanks for the recommendation. I've got 60183 already. Not interested in 60049

I will get 60182 soon. I will skip 60284 even though I like it's truck so much but I do not like the boat.

This is my recommendation. I know its really a cargo terminal, but the truck is the main subject of this set.
