If something like that is not available, then I suppose that diesel is the only good option for towing 100+ miles.

Edit: 500 miles of range would also be very appealing to people who own campers. I can see a good market for this kind of truck.
How much are you willing to pay for that extra range? Nissan is charging $6500 to add 22 kWh and 75 miles range to the Leaf. Tesla charges $10K to add 85 miles of range to the Model S.
