Of course, they're not expected to haul 2 tons at 80 mph up a 20 degree slope for hours on end, like most Americans think all trucks should... But they do a lot of mountain driving, too.

Many of those small Diesel 4-bangers in the 2.8L to 3.0L displacement range can easily perform any duty performed by a small-block gasser V8. No wonder the bigger gassers are nearly extinct in South America, finding some popularity only in Chile, Venezuela and Bolivia.
