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 think because of its HP/Torque ratings it would not stack up marketing wise. Capabilities mean nothing to the general public. It is all about what you can say in a commercial. 370HP puts it last (I think) behind the big 3 offerings.

I would love to own a Toyota Hilux diesel for some fun. To bad there are as rare as hens teeth.
