If you have a diesel, don't expect to find any ULSD or the DEF fluid south of Mexico. Mexico now claims to have ULSD, but you never know, our truck is a 2006, non ULSD.
For information find an old and out of date Church's Guide to Mexico, it and ioverlander.com are the best information out there. Dumping the black tank can get tough particularly south of Mexico consider swapping out the toilet for a cassette toilet which can be dumped at any gas station. For maps, there is a Guia Roji highway map of Mexico, probably available on Amazon. For GPS maps check out openstreet maps.
Most overland travelers stop at Overlander Oasis a small campground at Tule just east of Oaxaca. That is the best place for information further south and many of the people are from Europe but speak English.
