2003 Rodeo

Rowler, the 3.0L is pretty darned good on fuel consumption. With about 11000-12000km on my first RA, I was getting 8.3L / 100 km (55L for 660km) commuting cycle, which ranged from 50 km/h urban streets to 100 km/h short stints on the freeway. The only extra I had factory fitted on my second RA over the first one is the 120L fuel tank for those repiticious trips I'll be doing running back and forth across the Nullabor.
Off road ability I haven't found it wanting, but still waiting for ARB to reply to my email enquiring about an air locker for the front diff.
I would have preffered it if Safari has been the factory option for snorkel, but I'm still trying to see if a Safari head will fit the Airtech tube. I must remind myself to remove the Safari head from Mum's 2001 diesel Jack and try it next time I am home.

Cheers,

Dion.

Rowler,
I think it would be a pretty nice truck. But it depends on your expectations of off road ability. I would expect that if you are towing a camper trailer that it will be able to go anywhere where you want to tow the camper. As for the diesel 3.0 appart from being a little noisey it performs well, is reliable and ecconomical.
Another option is a Hilux which is what I am considering at the moment for the extra ground clearance.
