4-cyl engines for full-size trucks?

Some of you may already know that Ford is selling full-size trucks with a 4-cyl turbodiesel in Brazil and Argentina...

...but would it be a reasonable option for the American customer?
workaround ideas to discuss among friends: 4-cylinder turbodiesel engines into trucks: suitable to America?

Considering the lower purchase cost in opposition to a V8, a 4-cyl turbodiesel might be an attractive option for commercial operators who want a Diesel but are not willing to pay a sky-high premium for that.
