I've already seen many American full-size sedans with 4-cylinder small Diesels under 3.0L in Uruguay. Isuzu engines such as the 2.8L 4JB1 (including some turbocharged versions), the 2.4L C240 (which was fitted to some export versions of the Jeep CJ-series and early Wranglers) and even the 2.2L C223 can be found into nearly anything, including trucks and SUVs. And in the 80s there was at least one version of the Chevy C10 made in Argentina with a Peugeot-Indenor 2.3L turbodiesel (the same one from the Peugeot 505)...

Argentinian-made Ford Ranger had many versions fitted with a 2.5L turbodiesel which was also used in the Argentinian versions of the Freightliner/Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and so did the Brazilian Chevy S10. It was even available for a 2WD short-bed version of the Brazilian F150 in '97...
