I had a 94 half ton with a v6 that would get 24-25 mpg on the highway and could pull a bass boat. Not easily by any stretch, but it wasn't miserable.
That's over 20 year old technology. We should be far ahead of that by now. We can get the fuel economy with the small ecoboost but refuse to compromise on power. The people who are buying trucks expect everything to get up and go while pulling at max capacity these days.

Aint it grand, I can tow with ease today on a gooseneck what would have required a semi and lowboy 20 years ago.
My personal truck with all the creature comforts laughs at 120 HP tractors while towing uphill at 75 mph with air and cruise.
Not sure what your knickers are in a knot about, go buy a prius, it seems to be what you really want, we wont laugh.

A 1/2 ton Ford ?
Then you must be talking about the 300 cubic inch INLINE Six. Big difference from a V6.
The 4.9L I-6 was a helluva engine - a lot of torque and very reliable.
