I find it hard to believe that your Jeep pulling a trailer with a 1500 payload is getting 20 MPG. What's the trailer weigh ? - I suspect at least 1000 lbs. My 17 foot long Ditchwitch trailer weighs 3200 lbs. empty. So, maybe your Jeep pulls 2500 lbs. and gets 20 MPG with a gas engine? If that is true, you're already way ahead. My diesel won't do that well. I'll have to admit though, I've never lived anywhere totally flat. If you have no hills - maybe?

If you use your gas or diesel engine to do the pulling, all you've got is a fuel powered-generator.
