I just don't need a full-size truck anymore and am look for something with better fuel economy...

The Frontier gets about the same MPG as the F150 with 2.7 (~18.5). The Ranger is ~20, the Tacoma ~19.

If fuel economy is important, do you need a truck or would a different vehicle work?

 

[D45]

Definitely need and want a truck

How about it this way. But the updated powertrain you will be happy with the frontier. I have the old power train and I'm still pretty happy with the frontier.

For perspective this is me driving right now to Minnesota from Colorado 2012 that isn't exactly aerodynamic friendly due to modifications. I'd still rather drive my truck and take an airplane if I can avoid it. Yes there are more economical Vehicles out there too, but that requires me purchase sooner or renting one. I'm pretty happy with my truck for long distance trips
