What would you gain by "downsizing" your F150 to a Jeep? Better mileage? If so I would challenge that notion. Larger SUVs don't get much better, if any better mileage than a late model half ton. In fact my Sierra crew cab with a 5.3, 4 speed, and 3.73 gears gets better mileage than my old Trailblazer with I6 got, and the Sierra is only two years newer.
Certainly you would lose some capability by going to a Jeep, but perhaps gain great off road ability.
That said, consider keeping your F150 and looking at hybrid trailers. You can get a good used one for a mere fraction of the class "C"s you are looking at. And more than likely spend far less per year than renting. And it's yours.
