Nope, any good half ton will tow it fine and a couple of them will have slightly more power, but assuming cc/sb trucks, physical size is irrelevant and you’re only going to gain marginal gas mileage. My recent 2016 5.3 Chevy and 5.0 F150s are 14-15 mpg city/commuting and maybe 16 highway..... I don’t drIve slow though.
IMO you’re trading overkill capability for 1-2mpg.
