well looks like this may have not turned out as the OP wanted but to add my input, I own a 2013 F150 Ecoboost FX4 with 3.5.5 gear ratio. It pulls very well, but if you're looking for excellent mileage while pulling, I don't think its there when towing something as heavy as your skeeter. I'd expect 7-10 mpg pulling that skeeter at 70mph. I can pull my 16.5' alumaweld and get 13-14 and sometimes 15mpg at 75mph, and I can get 10-12 with 1910 nautic star at around 70-72. In general I'll average 16-17 in the city and 18-20 on the hwy, just depends where I'm driving. I don't think you'll get under 16mpg on everyday driving though no matter how you drive it.
My brother has 2014 Chevy 4x4, and his mileage is similar, but when its towing it isn't as responsive as my truck.
I hear good things about the new dodges, check them out. Seems like they have great power and good mileage. Tundra's look awesome and have great power as well, but I haven't heard anything good about mileage.
