Yeah, the diesel strikes me as an odd choice for this kind of truck. Would have thought they'd at least put the V6 in there, if not something a little crazy like the 5.3 from the Silverado or even the LT1/L86 (or LF3 V6). Now, a rock crawler with a diesel? That makes perfect sense.

Like someone else mentioned, I suspect that this was to bring attention to the diesel engine (while gauging interest in this type of truck). I would be surprised if this went into production & you couldn't get it with the V6.
