The Ranger has a that small diesel overseas. I am still curious who's engine is it and why isn't it here in the US?

Matt, I think the Canadian had the option of a diesel fj 80 from Toyota. I love my big Duramax. Plenty of power but these little diesels engines are more then 70% there with the hp and tq numbers in a lighter, smaller truck.

Toyota and Nissan brought in a small diesel trucks back in the 80s. I remember seeing them or smelling them rather. I got talking to this equip repairman that drove a Nissan way back. He thinks it has all of 63 hp. The thing can't get out of it own way, but it has 400,000 original miles and it just kept going.
