The newer Euro vans, such as the ProMaster and even the Sprinter in spite of its RWD layout, are actually more focused on hauling than towing, altough I've already seen a handful of them being used in touristic routes towing 2-ton trailers to carry the luggage of 15 passengers.

Nowadays you may still find a non-turbocharged 3.0L 4-pot Diesel only in Caribe, Africa and Middle-East. I actually doubt that it could be even possible to meet current EPA standards with one. The only non-turbocharged engine to be used in the ProMaster is gonna be the V6 gasser...
