The Land Cruiser was offered with both turbo and non-turbo diesel engines in pretty much every other market besides the US. To import a diesel clip to convert using an OEM Toyota engine costs, no joke, at least $10,000 just in parts. Then you're stuck using an engine that is problematic for finding replacement parts here in the states.
Since the Fuso was sold here in large quantities, replacement parts are relatively easy to come by. I'm usually a purist, and I'd prefer the OEM conversion, but in this case the Mitsu swap is just too cheap and easy to pass up.
