My wife and I are in the preorder group for the Tello, and I think that might be where you're headed.

It's the size of a 4-door Mini. Because of the packing advantages of batteries and electric motors, it easily puts everything you'd want in a basic truck and then some. It fits a 4x8 sheet flat on its bed (with some hangover out the back) just fine because it doesn't have large wheel well intrusion. The wheels can be small because everything else is small, and that means there's plenty of bed space.

It can also tow 6,600 lbs. So maybe not enough for you, but 6,600 lbs is hardly small. If I wanted to make my Miata into a dedicated track car and trailer it around, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have much issue.

Chapman's "simplify and add lightness" works for trucks, too.
