As much as I hate to say it, the larger F-150 with the V-6 gets better mileage than the Frontier either with the 4 or 6. Guess that's what happens when they don't put any R&D dollars into their smaller engines.
To get the 4 door with 6.5' bed the ford is only available in a V8 automatic 13/19 mpg @ $31k

To get the 4 door Nissan with 6.5' bed V6, auto only mpg not listed, guessing 15/20 @ $27k

Base model V6 F150 vs Base model I4 Frontier get about the same mileage figures.
