I have a Crewman, so I am a bit sceptical about the suitability of broken utes that can supposedly can carry 1000kg and tow 3,500 kg. I certainly would not use mine for that purpose.

Both the Falcon and Crewman utes rear chassis is, simplistically, bolted or glued to the cab, and do not extend from the front bumper to the rear bumper, as per imported utes.
Has anybody heard or seen a Falcon or Crewman breaking in the middle ?
Or are Australian built cab/chassis utes better engineered and built with better materials ?

Nah, proper Aussie built, proportions are right, probably there are a few around with stupid owners who overloaded them but those Thai specials frames are made from chipboard.
