Find myself disappointed that the F150 Ecoboost only gets 10 mpg towing, was really hoping to make a dent in my gas bill with my next truck. I love my F150, but at 7mpg towing and not towing anymore because of the gas bill, I really want to find something that can tow the boat and trailer without breaking my bank.

Heard a car guy on the radio say that dodge has a 6 cyl diesel that gets 30 mpg. Is this even possible?

The money you will spend buying another vehicle as well as all the money you will loose on depreciation will go a long ways towards buying the extra fuel for towing with your existing vehicle.

But - you will part with a lot of "green" for very little return..:(

I agree on the ROI math, but I'm getting very close to needing to replace my old truck, so I would be buying a replacement truck no matter what, so mpg or $pm will be meaningful without worrying about the investment cost. Although the cost of maintenance and repair and initial purchase of gas vs diesel may be a significant break even math factor. Just vacation towing and currently still work full time grind.
