I assume that by "global pickups" you mean the ones we know as mid-size in Brazil but would be deemed compact in America. The only one currently available with a 5-cylinder that I'm aware is the Ranger, and in Australia the Nissan Frontier is available with a V6, but the 4-cyl ones are still the best sellers in a worldwide basis. Anyway, the Nissan Patrol, which is closer in size to an American full-size, had the 6-cyl TD42 replaced by the 4-cyl ZD30 in Australia and other markets with tighter emission regulations.
