Diesel engines are always the best option for a truck, but it would be quite obvious if I were the one advocating for that

After looking at what a modern 4-cyl turbodiesel is capable in a medium-duty truck I could consider a 4HK1 from the NPR or a J05E from the Hino 195 among the best options, but considering availability and emissions classes seems like the 6BT Cummins is the easier to register legally. I would recommend a Powerstroke only for an enemy.
