We bought our petrol 2008 FL2 over 10 years ago, it's been a great vehicle. At 210k. We had the suspension rebuilt and changed the rear diff, apart from that it still runs well. We can tow our (up to) 1700kg camper trailer with relative ease on the highway. Off road is fine but I am always mindful of the car's limitations. This is my wife's car, although I do all the driving 
She has found a nice looking 2014 FL2 diesel with less than 80k on the clock. I can see that the petrol version has more hp than the diesel, but the diesel has more torque. I can understand that from the engineering perspective, but I am aware that towing at 1700kg I am working at the edge of the vehicle's capacity.
Question is, will I notice or be negatively affected by the difference in the engine and towing ability if we move to the newer diesel version?
Thanks from Melbourne, Australia. First time poster. Not so many petrol FL2 imported here.
