For your application (smaller light wt trailer), I would take a close look at the F150 with 5.0 V8. It will get about the same mileage as the 3.5 Eco, towing or daily driving. It will be cheaper to purchase, with good availability in used market.
The short bed 150s are very car like, but still truck advantage, with things like stronger hitch, integrated brake controller, and anti-sway control.

Worth checking into, thanks.
My significant other has a F150 with the Ecoboost, and is very pleased with it for towing and general use.
I do NOT like the big console from the 40/20/40 seat fold down. It's very clunky and in the way. But apparently they can be swapped out for a regular console, not cheap though. That's really the only thing I don't like about the truck.
