Petrol or diesel ? Thanks for your help

[Tazzieman]

Would the extras petrol they need to carry to match the diesel range kinda offset the payload gap?

Most petrol owners can find a fuel station. Even in outback Australia, despite what you may have heard!
Diesel owners adding a long range tank are shaving even more off their payload from the moment they top up.
Hence the need for GVM upgrades.
At the end of the day , what you save on accommodation you can spend on fuel - and beer , depending upon payload.

I have the diesel and am very happy. I live in a hilly area and average 22-23 mpg for daily use, and 28 mpg on a long run.

The DPF can be a bit inconvenient in its timing. Most notably when I was about to go wading and had to wait for the cycle to run.

The adblue is no hassle at all for me.
