Here are the results from the EPA's web site for 2011 to 2013 models of 4 wheel drive trucks.
Fuel Economy


Personally I like using a trailer more then a truck bed, when I borrow my parents truck I always take the trailer because it's a foot and a half lower the truck bed, it's wider, longer and dead flat, the one they have tips too, so loading anything with wheels on to it becomes really easy, at work we have a larger trailer and we never put anything in the truck bed because our work truck is a 4 wheel drive dodge and the tailgate height is just to high to lift much of anything up to without hurting your self, light stuff is nice to protect so it tends to go inside the cab.
If the little Mercedes vans were 4 wheel drive then we would have one of those as a work vehicle, but we end up in weird places at work and use the 4 wheel drive enough to make it worth while, but the smaller ones are 1 ton, get 28mpg and are pretty nice inside, they also do have rust issues, but with how many miles you put on a vehicle the rest of it's going to wear out before it rusts to bad.
