It was kinda surprising to see a Ford F-250 SuperDuty repowered with a Toyota Hilux engine, more specificly the petrol 3.4V6 5VZ-FE. Got to think that it was kinda weird to see a small engine like that in a F-250 but hey, finding parts for that odd 4.2 inline-six MWM turbodiesel outside Brazil is anything but easy. What makes me think about it not being so much of a good idea is the fuel consumption not so advantageous over a V8, or over a diesel.

Too right, that Brazilian engine is a pain in the neck. I cannot understand why they did not keep the 141hp Cummins 4BTAA from the earliest versions of the Brazilian F250. Cheers mate.
The MWM is not a bad engine overall, just lacks some aftermarket support.
