Your warp9 (not a transwarp I assume) is set up to go through a clutch/trans, so lets assume that will work fine for the electrical. If it is an automatic it might not like having the motor not spinning.

You would need a distinctly different/smaller transmission for a small diesel engine anyway, harley davidson uses a divorced transmission and clutch fyi, but there are other options as well, such as a simple in/out box and starting the diesel and rev-matching, using electric to get you up to a speed where you could rpm match.

This is going to take a lot of (hopefully your) effort to figure out if it even makes sense, emergency generators are good for emergencies, but I can't get my head around a tiny diesel f150 on farm duty.

How about a getting a $300 trailer for your passat? I have one for my prius, and I basically have a 50mpg pickup on demand.
