The 5 best small diesel trucks are just less in size than full sized trucks, and some are able to tow up to 11,000 pounds. These pickup trucks are also built slightly higher off the ground than regular cars which is an added bonus for drivers who tend to enjoy the view out of their vehicles. Also, it is a lot easier to park a small pickup truck than the regular size pickup trucks. Below are five small diesel pickup trucks.

  1. 2007 Toyota Tacoma: The Tacoma is considered the best small diesel pickup truck because of it's ability to be either a pickup truck or a very sturdy powerful vehicle for those looking for a pickup truck to do the job. The Tacoma is Toyota's work horse and all purpose pickup truck. It comes in a variety of trims and prices with V-6 engines. Also, you have the option to have the regular cab, access cab or double -cab version.
  2. 2007 Toyota Sequoia: The Sequoia is a large multi-sized passenger SUV making it one of the best small diesel pickup trucks. It comes with the standard 4.7 liter V-8 engine, and you have the option of rear- wheel or four -wheel drive. As one of the largest vehicles that Toyota produces, the Sequoia is 204 inches long and 73 inches wide and is able to seat up to eight people.
  3. 2004 Ford Excursion: The Excursion is the largest SUV ever produced by the Ford Motor Company. As one of the best small diesel pickup trucks, the Excursion has a V-8 or V-10 engine and can haul up to 11,000 pounds. The Excursion is best for people who want to haul boats, horses or large trailers. With all-terrain tires and four- wheel drive, the Excursion can handle snowy highways and any kind of terrain.
  4. 2007 Honda Element: The Element is one of the best small diesel pickup trucks, because it is a combination of an SUV and a sport utility truck. Geared more to a younger crowd, the Element has different trims and body colors. It comes in both front- wheel and four-wheel drive models.
  5. 2007 Honda Ridgeline: This is a pickup truck with a built-in storage compartment in the bed. As one of the best small diesel pickup trucks, the Ridgeline can tow up to 5,000 pounds and comes with all-wheel drive. The 2007 model was made with new exterior colors, a driver's side illuminated vanity mirror and monotone interior leather.
