I'm sure the 300 was overshadowed in my country by the prevalence of Diesel engines in the class, even though the Brazilian models resorted to different engines from their USDM counterparts. And it took longer for this engine to become available in Brazil, as it was only fitted to the F-1000 (a shortbed F-250 equivalent) in the mid to late '90s as a replacement to the Argentinian 221 Thriftpower Six, while the F-4000 (a local F-350 derivative) relied on the outsourced MWM Diesel engine.
