Ram, Ford, and Chevy all make a V6 half ton truck. All of them have around 300 horsepower, which a few years was top of the line V8 power. They all are rated for over 20 mpg highway.

The new GMC Canyon and Chevy colorado will be out soon with V6 power, and should get respectable fuel economy.
If it's just you and the dog, a Ram 1500 single cab with the pentastar v6 will get 25mpg highway, and be rated to pull 7000lbs with 1500lbs of payload.... plenty of great options of TT out there in that weight range.
