I've topped out at 17.75 MPG in a 2013 Frontier SV extended cab 6cyl 4WD automatic, carrying an Eagle.

I sold my 05 Fronty crew cab; my experience with the 5' bed on it was that it was *always* a bit short, and I wanted the 6' bed for cargo and to carry a camper.

I sure don't feel like I have extra room in an Eagle, even when I'm solo. Usually the frau is aboard. I'd considered a smaller Finch (?) in the short bed, but glad I went this size. I'd be OK with the Fleet, I'm sure.

The extended cab is great. Not as much room as the crew, but plenty enough for two people's stuff.

I am not an off-roader. I did add Firestone Ride-Rite air bags. I wouldn't mind a beefier rear anti-sway bar. Don't know much about the differences to get to the Pro-4x, could an SV with suspension & tires be equivalent?

How tall are you?  There is a definite advantage to crawl in and sleep on the bench seat sometimes without poping the top.  A 6 foot bench would be preferable to a 5 foot one unless you are under 5 feet.
