My wife and I went to Jamaica before this virus nonsense started. We went on an off-road "safari" ride with Chukka tours. As it turned out, they use old Toyotas.
As soon as the truck pulled up to the resort, I was in love. When we stopped out in the trail, the guide let me check her out. I couldn't find a date or label anywhere (it is Jamaica!) but the engine was the 3.0L I6 N/A diesel. On the way to the trail he drove up to a scenic overlook. There were 8 of us in the back, including a couple we became friendly with from Wisconsin with the husband a big guy like me, and this truck with it's 5 speed, had no issues hauling our butts up the narrow and steep roads.
Anyway...quick story..carry on.
That was most likely a 4.2 naturally aspirated diesel I6

. The 1HZ engine. Most likely in a land cruiser 70 series still made new to this day but of course we can't have them in the US
The one above however has a 4.5 v8 turbo diesel
