When that truck was made, diesels were not very popular in the US except in big trucks. They had a somewhat deserved reputation for being loud, smelly and slow. Hence hardly any manufacturers offered them for the US market. It is only recently that the car-buying public's perception of diesels has become favorable. Who knows, maybe a diesel powered Toy truck is in our future.
