Brazilian turbodiesel versions of the F-250 had either a 3.9L Cummins 4-cyl or a regionally-sourced MWM 4.2L straight-6. I have no experience with the straight-6, yet I drove smaller trucks (Nissan Frontier D22 and XTerra, and S10) fitted with a 4-cyl 2.8L based on the same design. My only experiences with the F-250 were with the Cummins, and it was quite good.
