Diesel Falcon utes would do well as they fit the diesel requirements and have a 5 star ANCAP rating which is becoming a requirement. Funnily enough some big mines prefer 2wds as it means that employees arnt going to get themselves in trouble by driving places they shouldnt - movements on mine are strictly controlled with the vast majority of vehicles contained to well graded and maintained roads. Also when given a 4wd there is an expensive OHS expectation that the employee will be flown somewhere to undertake a 4wd course.
