Base model V6 F150 vs Base model I4 Frontier get about the same mileage figures.
Sounds like you want the Tacoma double-cab long bed, then. 4.0L, 5-speed auto, 6,300 lb. towing with the trailer package, 17/21 mpg and MSRP of $24.4k.

The truck magazines are all starting to add the "0-60 hauling a 10,000 pound trailer" test to their truck comparos, so expect this phenomenon to get worse.
