I'd really suggest you investigate why you need a truck (we have a 3/4 ton diesel to haul 12,000 pound loads). Small trucks might seem OK, but will likely not get any better fuel economy than a full size. Insurance/registration costs might be different. I know very little about small trucks.

When you get into full size, stay away from v-6 imho. The economy is worse than or same as the v-8. The capacity is lower (smaller engine) and the demand is not there on re-sale. My experience is Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Indiana, Michigan. Yours might vary.
