Where should I start? OM603, OM606 for good torque, reliability and fuel economy.

With a 606 and a 722 trans u wont be able to fullfil your specs.
A 606 is a 3 liter diesel made for automotive purposes not toe trucks. Despite it can develop high HP is always in high RPM . So low end is not possible.
Big bore pumps do not increase low end that is done with a small bore.
.722 trans are electrohydraulic , so EMP will always kill the controller and probably solenoid valves. So that is not a option.
716 manual GB from w204 fill the requirements.
Manual pump i can do it for u, big bore with no electrics at all.
Vegetable oils in due time are not good for diesels like MB engines. Other alternative fuels like wmo also afect a 606 deeply, but it run well on both.
I don't think I'm asking too much. Towing a small trailer at 60-70 mph on a highway is something I've done with a rwd sedan, not exactly a difficult task. If I wanted to haul 5,000+ pounds and climb mountains, that's a lot different.
One thing I hate about towing is slowing going up hill and slowing more when I downshift (with a manual transmission).
Automatics handle that well and hopefully with a good cooler, the clutches will be more tolerant of occasional off road abuse than a manual transmission clutch or synchro cones.
Also spares will be cheap and available for a very long time. Manual transmissions are available less and less on new cars and transmissions strong enough for a diesel are already uncommon around here.
I like the fact that the 722.6 is a five speed because I think one or two overdrive gears are going to be the key to higher mileage.
So if I try to go for a turbo that makes more boost sooner than a big power setup and maybe just slightly bigger injection pump, what will that look like?
