Here's my usual tow rig when we load up and go:

Even your smaller option is way bigger than we get over in the UK. Excellent rigs

Seeing these rigs always reminds me of the Volkner bus and what a cool concept it is.

You guys across the pond are so bloody lucky with all the small, diesel pickup truck choices you have.
I would love to get a Toyota Tacoma diesel or the VW Amarok.
Pickups are so practical, just throw everything in the back and head out.
All the compact pickup trucks sold in the US get such shitty mileage that it's not worth it.
I found out why VW will not sell the Amarok in the US. Apparently there is a huge import tax on foreign built trucks.
Why don't we get the VW Amarok in the US?
Pity.

Even with the 25% tax it will be a lot cheaper than over here  >:(
