Smile Advice for new work ute

Hi guys, looking at upgrading my current 08 FG xr6 sedan to something more practical (and faster).

Will be used for carrying loads of around 400 kilos doing around 800k's per week sometimes loaded sometimes not. WIll also be towing an 8 by 5 trailer which will be loaded with up to 700 kilos of goods. The car will be an auto

Looking for a fun weekender as well

Have 3 options im thinking of, want to wait for the fg2 so buying in a couple of months if it comes out then, the car will be fully tax deductible :-)

Option 1. XR6 ute with eco LPI and lux pack.. the reviews so far seem very positive and with the amount of Ks im doing seems to make sense financially however not really fast enough..

Option 2. XR6 Turbo ute with lux pack.. had a BAxr6t before and loved it so would be happy to go this route again.

Option 3. FPV GS ute... this is the car my heart wants however im worried with the amount of ks im doing ill be getting killed on fuel.. or the fact that im carrying alot of weight the engine would be less laboured possibly using less or similar fuel to the turbo? also obviously the extra cash to buy the FPV has to be taken into consideration.


Any advice would be much appreciated :-)
