Yes it does !
Should be a good one too. 3 litre, V6 on a 7 speed auto

' ......... And this time it’s a genuine Mercedes-Benz engine in preference to the re-badged Nissan units which power the four-cylinder models. The OM642 is an all-aluminium DOHC 24-valve 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel with common rail fuel injection, variable geometry turbocharger and a counter-rotating balance shaft between its 72-degree cylinder banks to eliminate inherent vibrations.

This refined and powerful engine produces 190kW at 3400rpm and 550Nm across a broad 1800rpm torque band between 1400-3200rpm. The X350d and VW’s Amarok Ultimate 580 V6 are now the class-leading performance giants of Aussie dual cab utes, equal on power output and almost equal on torque........... '

Mercedes put that engine in the Dodge Ram full size truck when they owned Dodge. My friend loved his. He traded it in for the new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. They will put that diesel in the Jeep next year. I assume it's still the same 3 liter diesel. It may be the previous generation of the engine. They are very efficient and diesels are torquey for good off roading.

I am sure it'ld be close enough to being the same motor.

Germans do make diesels.
Hey, they used diesel trains to freight Jews all around Europe in the 40's

No they didn't. They used steam engines. :roll :roll
