Actually, 3,000 pounds of gravel exceeds the payload rating of the F-150, but in a trailer, is well within the towing capacities of compact pickups and even some cars and smaller crossovers. (And that's here. In the UK, a freaking Civic 3-door can tow 3,300 pounds and is rated at 55 mpg on the freeway with the diesel.)
