Altough the Iveco Daily is not available in the U.S., the Fiat Ducato is gonna be available there soon as the Ram ProMaster. That would probably be my choice for an efficient truck back there...

I wouldn't bet on a short-nose or flat-nose Tesla truck mostly due to NHTSA regulations which killed the market for the forward-control Japanese vans...
