A 4bt would be great in about anything. But the trans in the CRD is one of the problems. And, emissions would be the kicker.

Considering the power of a 4bt a half-ton would be a better choice, IMO, with the right mix of manual trans and rear axle gears. The mpg might not be as good as a CRD but the vehicle have a great deal more utility.
