Ken,
I heard Nissan is entering the Diesel market soon with their Titan P/U truck. I have a friend at Harvester who told me about it. That would sound like a great all around vehicle that's not too big.

Figured Someone here would get a kick out of these pics and my brief text.
On July 3rd, this past Monday I drove out to a old friends home and shop 50 miles east of Downtown Seattle in the Cascade Mountain foothills.
He had Emailed me about selling a 67 Camaro, that I wanted to check out buying for myself.
This man Jeff and my high school friend Jerry, his partner campaign two NHRA sportsman cars....one in Comp and the other a Corvette stocker, not there to photograph.
They used to tow with Ford Diesel Pick-ups and 36' Trailer
but were using up the pick-ups.......and so
last year he bought this truck/motorhome used for $79K with 90K miles out of South Dakota. I didnt get the specs, but was loaded with EVERYTHING!
Then he designed and had built in Kentucky this trailer, with ALL the goodies. Both Race Cars go on top layer with Scion support vechicle, golf cart, mopeds etc on lower....
They are currently leading Div6 NHRA in Comp Elim and #3 in USA for points.....

It's Amazing.......Go to a Regional event and just look at the Rig's in the Pits........the cars that race are the "Cheap" part of racing.......Go Figure

BBBenny's truck seems to tow fine. 6.0liter with a 373 rear I believe. Problem with the Dodge diesels (older versions) are they are way to noisey. Every time my buddy and I go through McDonalds with his 1995 Dodge they ask us to shut it off.

Jim Warter and his many associates raced a Variety of "Joint Venture" cars in Div 6 for MANY years.
My friends above with the B/SR have a relationship with
Panella Racing Engines in Calif. My friends bought one Panella's eng intially, but are now building there own engines. The one in above street roadster is 316 CI and reportedly showed 840HP on DYNO ........with single 4779 Holly.....
Jeff Lane started out many years ago as a Hardwood Flooring apprentice........now has his own LANE Hardwood Floors Company with misc trucks and employees.....
