Those GVWRs appear only a little higher than those of the venerable Chevy 4500 and Ford E450 trucks chassis used here in the U.S. under many Class C motorhomes.
For the life of me, I don't see how 200HP could adequately haul around that much weight in, say, the Canadian or U.S. Rockies. Horsepower is horsepower, and diesel horsepower is no different than gas horsepower - assuming that the designers put the right gear ratios into tansmissions and differentials in order to transform crankshaft torque into drive axle torque.

Doubt they will convince you,as the E450 is a failure here. but they have no problems climbing hills quickly or going off road( very much Off Road) Speed limits are very similar to the US in Australia.as you know we drive very fast off road, something you would be very uncomfortable about. Northern Territory has unlimied limits
