Quite a few members here would love to have a 50mpg car, let alone a truck.

Reducing the truck's weight to say 2200 lbs will be a challenge to start with.
What load capacity do you want it to have ?
With only 20-40 HP, it won't be able to carry heavy stuff.


There's a German member on ecomodder with a VW T4 or T5 Transporter van with a TDI engine. He's close to 50mpg.
