Could this engine find it's way into a HD Toyota pickup?

Developed by Toyota, now set up for marine applications. What's to say that Toyota might have bigger plans for this V-8 diesel. http://www.boattest.com/engine-review/Yanmar/12500050_8LV-ZT370-Joysti...

I have been surprised not to see it yet. It has been available for industrial applications in the US since about 2007. It is a nice motor, and we never had any problems with them.

But, Toyota does not put them in Hino trucks for some reason (at least not the US) so that makes me skeptical they would consider it for a light truck instead of one of their road-proven inline 6-cyl diesels.
