Is it worth it? Yes, if you can satisfy your requirements. My DD has been an '06 4 cyl ranger automatic, it's rated to tow about 2300# since it has 4.10 gears, and gets 27 MPG highway, have seen a best of 32 MPG 100% highway. Only way to get good MPG in a compact is with a 4 cyl truck, the V6 trucks may be lucky to get 20 mpg. I still have a old full-size that I use strictly for truck stuff/hauling, put maybe 1000 miles on it per year, have about $3000 into it including the $800 I paid for it.
Only way to be better off in the end is by selling current truck and buying something cheaper, in the end making money off the deal. You may be better off in the end just sticking with what you know, though. But it's definitely possible to come out ahead by doing the research. Buying new definitely won't get you there.
