Hmm, not what I was meaning.

Sure, Falcon's and Commodore's are powerful rear drive cars that can be driven recklessly. But at least they have some dynamic prowess combined with decent brakes.

A lifted dual cab or 4wd is not going to be as forgiving dynamically, especially when combined with lift kits and the potential to roll over with little provocation. And don't forget about the drum brakes most of the dual cabs come fitted with, combined with heavy weight, they won't have the braking capacity of a Falcon or Commodore.
