A Ford F150 with a Cummins 3.9 turbo is the way to go. Makes a nice drivable rig, even in the hills and can get 25-26 MPG driving 65 MPH with the right overdrive.
I've got an Isuzu 2.2 diesel in a tiny Geo 4WD Tracker SUV and it's just barely adequate. I also have one in an 85 Isuzu 4WD PUP and it's also just barely adequate. I used to have the rare 2.2 turbo diesel in a Isuzu Scout that was a bit better until it blew up.
GM sold S10 pickups and SUVs with the same 2.2 and they were horribly underpowered. Not quite so bad in the Chevy LUVs which were bascially Isuzu PUP trucks.
I'm not saying a 2.2 can't push an F150 down a flat highway. It would be useless however for driving in the hills or trying to tow anything.
The 2.2 Isuzu diesels used in Chevy Chevettes, S10 trucks, S10 Blazers, Imark cars, PUP trucks, etc. were reworked gas Isuzu gas engines so they were slightly different then the reefer Isuzu 2.2 diesels. Not by much though. The industrial reefer 2.2 diesel is 54 max horsepower with 106 lbs. of max torque. Considering people still complain about the low power in GM 6.2 diesels in 1/2 ton trucks - it gives some perspective. The 6.2 has around 140 horse at 3600 RPM and 240 lbs. of max torque.
Isuzu 2.2 (139 c.i.) diesel (used in GMs) - 62 horse at 4200 RPM and 96 lb. ft. torque at 2200 RPM. 2.2. liter 3.4" bore by 3.62" stroke
Isuzu 2.2 model 4LE1, indirect injected, 3.35” (85mm) bore by 3.78” (96mm) stroke, 54 HP intermittent @ 3000 RPM, 106 lb. ft. torque @ 1800 RPM, 133 cu in (2.2 liters). 21.5 to 1 compression ratio.
Isuzu 2.2 model 4LE2 52.4 HP @ 3000 RPM, 105 lb. ft. of torque @ 2250 RPM, 133 cu in (2.2 liter). 18.8 to 1 compression ratio.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
