If its about range, tough to beat the Ford trailer package that gives you a 36 gallon fuel tank. The 3.5 EB will get similar mileage to the Frontier. 2.7 EB better.
Smaller trucks (in overall size) do not enjoy superior fuel economy.
V6 Frontier 4WD rated as 15MPG city, 21 highway. F150 with 2.7 EB rated 19 city, 24 highway. 3.5 EB is 17 city, 22 highway.
Ford has gone all in on truck production, eliminating almost their entire car line in the USA. So they either have to dominate the truck market, or get smaller. Look for Ford to continue to push innovation into their truck models as they won't be distracted by cars.
