From what I saw over a cummins website and hino is that both engine makers are on the same page. The only engine that really stands out at cummins is the Ram 6.7 but that is tuned for marketing purposes.
I have no doubt that Toyota can pump out a diesel that of equivilent size, power and reliablity as on other American diesel.
Toyota has been making diesels since the 50's and the current diesel in the Land Cruiser is impressive make 520 lb from a 4.5.

The argument about DOHC vs Pushrod died back in the 90's.

I want a diesel LC just as much as the next guy, but it won't be a replacement for my work diesel truck that I routinely tow 20K lbs with

I still don't understand why you are not going to buy a diesel Land Cruiser because it can't replace you 20k work truck. This just does not make any sense.
