VW had a factory in Vermont making Volkswagen Golf/rabbit pickup trucks. They're small, but the diesels in them had plenty of power to haul any 700 pound load. I suggest buying one, and then getting a Surly Big Dummy cargo bike to do any trips that wouldn't require a car (<300 pound loads)
I was actually looking at a 1980something VW rabbit pickup for sale. It had the the 1.5 diesel in it if i'm not mistaken. It had a few problems with it that i can't seem to remember. I wanted it but my parents shot it down. Needless to say it sold. I live in Nebraska and we don't get to many of them in here. If I were ever to find one again I would most definitely buy it.
