I recently bought a new Nissan Frontier, and its 6-cylinder engine, 261 HP is more than enough power to pull 3000 pounds. If that is all you are doing, a smaller engine in a small truck might be fine.
The 5-cylinder Chevy Colorado's have a high fuel economy considering how much power they have (unfortunately for me I could only find one for sale in my area in the configuration I wanted and it had a crappy transmission).
Or look at an older 6-cylinder Tacoma or Frontier, they should have enough towing power for you, and beat out the F-150 on FE because they are smaller and lighter.
