My instinct has always been to avoid the trucker unless you're doing looooong (very) heavily loaded tours. Might be a bit sluggish for everything else

Straggler with 1.7-2.0" tyres?

Go to Brixton Cycles. They have all the models. And about half the mechanics are either on here or used to be on here a lot more.

Aspiring Surly bike owner here. I'm looking for something which I can load up and take on some mixed on and off road camping tours; probably only what the uk and maybe Europe can offer because life and all that; and I probably not anything too technical like down a mountain side. Will definitely be using rear panniers (as I already have a pair) so will need to be able to accommodate a rack.
Being fully aware that this is a very broad description, I've had a look at possibly the LHT/disc trucker as this seems to have really good reviews and ticks a lot of boxes. I've seen a lot about the Troll too, seemingly a more 'off road' bike? What are your thoughts? Also are there any stockists in london were I can try these out? Cheers.
