The Ford Ranger and VW Amarok are also available with a diesel engine. Both of these small pickups also have 5000# or higher tow ratings, are excellent Tow Vehicles, but neither are available in N.A.
And diesel fuel is less expensive than gas where I live in Ontario.
We used our VW Passat diesel to tow our 2000# tent trailer for many years before the Elkmont. Diesels, with all their torque, make great TVs.
Maybe it's just a matter of time before these small diesel pickups become available in NA. I hope ...
