Well if you are considering V6 and R6 would fit.. then go for V8 OM629 a.k.a. 420/450CDI. It has EDC16 motormanagement which is easy to tune and will produce around 400PS and 1000Nm easy.

We do not have those in the U.S.

If you are looking for an engine to power a 5,500#, 4x4 truck that will also be used to tow a camper, why not use a commonly available Duramax, Powerstroke, or Cummins 6-cylinder engine from a US-spec 3/4 ton truck? Or simply buy a 3/4 ton truck that already has the US-spec diesel powertrain?
