Compact Diesel trucks that we can't get here

[3930dave]

I looked at the Nissan ad and it said it tows up to 3200 Kg which converts to 7045 lbs. I could live with that just fine.

This class of truck with a diesel would nicely fill a gap - tows more than a mini van, but less than a 1 ton, while getting fantastic fuel mileage - Empty or Fully Loaded.

The ultra heavy personal haulers and commercial guys aside, something like the Amorak diesel with 4 doors would be a perfect utility runabout for many of us, myself included.

One more. Not only is it diesel, but it is built with higher spec equipment than the normal Jeep Wrangler and is used by the military. The Jeep J8. Basically its a factory 'upbuild" using the parts that many guys do when they build an off-road Jeep, think of something in the lines of the Ford Raptor. There is however some talk that there will be a "normal" diesel wrangler here in a few years because it is in current US production but just not sold in NA.

The Jeep J8

If they would just build a four door diesel rubicon I would be all over it!

I've never owned a VW before bug that Amorak has me drooling thinking of something that versatile that gets that kind of fuel economy. I love my 2006 Tacoma Sport 4 door but it only averages 15.5 mpg. Sounds like its not coming anytime soon though

A low cost diesel option would make Ecoboost harder to sell.
