In the past, I don't think there has been, but given the economy and fuel prices, that could change in the next few years. If fuel prices remain reasonable that is.
Although, I did see in Diesel Power last month that Ford had apparently killed the idea of a diesel powered F-150 model. Hate to hear that...I figured that would do okay here.
I guess $5/gallon diesel sealed that one's fate pretty quick.
I would think a diesel Ranger would be pretty fuel efficient though.

I've wanted one of these for a long time. I loved my old ranger, and would have kept it, if I hadn't stumbled onto the old vegistroke website. Here is a pic
I've said it to my friends for a long time now - "whoever comes out with a small truck (especially w/ a diesel) will clean up" - think 1980's toyota or nissan.
I was down in Costa Rica this spring, and EVERYTHING down there seems to be diesel. I rented a Nissan XTerra diesel, and saw a Toyota Hylux diesel that I really liked-basically a diesel Tacoma. Almost made me want to buy one and drive it up to the States!
