This is the first I have heard that izuzu had anything to do with the six two, and I would be very surprised if the engine weighs anywhere near three times as much. A hundred or two more, is more my guess.

I have owned at least four trucks with the six two and am well aware of its good and bad traits, and would not put one in a benz, under any circumstances... a truck yes, maybe but not a benz.

my two cents.
