Myself and some mates are heading there too, Landcruiser and a Land Rover, dates not yet fixed.
Me and my GF did a trip a couple of years ago and felt that we could have been much more adventurous with an extra vehicle. It had been very rainy that year and on one occasion whilst in the desert we got badly bogged down in mud. There was no chance of digging out really as more mud just flowed in to replace what you'd dug away. In the end we had to pay 100 euros for a tractor to tow us out. With another vehicle I don't think we would had any problems at all. see YouTube - Morocco or bust! 2008. Episode 3 of 6
Regarding fuel costs, if you have long range fuel tanks or a few jerry cans, bear in mind that you can fill up on cheap Moroccan diesel for the return leg. This can easily save you £100 or more.
