Why can't we get a compact, 4 cylinder diesel pickup here in the US?

To piggyback on the Ford Ranger thread.

Is this something Americans would buy?

A no frills, basic compact pickup.

I'm pretty sure Mexico has one.

I personally want a small truck for small projects, with diesel for great mileage.

Does nissan still make a 4 banger Frontier?

A base Frontier can still be had for well under 20k

Emissions and manufactures don’t want to offer diesels on base models. See the price of the F150 diesel.

That’s cute. Would look even better being teabagged by my F-250.

Because 4 cylinders are for pussies. If you don’t got 8, you ain’t straight

Honest question, what can you do with a truck that small you couldn’t do with an SUV?

The price difference per gallon now is around a dollar between diesel and gas. I know diesel runs forever, but a gas powered Tacoma will last for 300k miles.

I don't need an F-150, a Silverado or a pick-up that can pull a house. I need a small truck that I can toss some lumber, mulch or groceries into. The S-10 I used to have was great for light truck stuff. And to hell with paying $40,000+ for a Ranger.
