I guess you all might know the Triumph Rocket III Roadster, with its 140cu.in. straight-3 engine.

Since its 163lb.ft. torque peak is surprisingly achieved at a lower engine speed than the 154lb.ft. in the Duratec 23NS formerly used in the Ranger, would the 3-cylinder engine layout be a reasonable option into a compact truck?
