    Volkswagon also made a diesel pickup at one time, or how about one of the diesel VW vans??

    I rode with a guy one time that had one of those small diesels and it took him about 2 mile to get wound up to road speed.

    They are slow , I have a cargo van & a chev mini . the cargo could hold 5000 and you can drive with out really feeling it. the mini 1200 and a short time & slow careful driving @ 2000 .

    Trailers that hold 2000 are not hard to find . I feel just about any small car can handle that . Just a thought .
