Not necessarily, just need to make some adjustments, that is to reduce the ballweight a little.
It's works wonders.

this is one of many reasons why I believe you should always have some tolerance to your cars max ratings. This is the problem with using falcons to tow falcons, as per the thread title. Sure, people have shown that you can tow a car on a car trailer, with a normal passenger car, however its been pointed out that most of the time, while it may tow 'fine', it will be bordering on illegal, or will be illegal. How many would bother to check their rear axle weight?
I've been towing with Falcons for a loooong time, more than 30 years.
It's easy, safe, and legal if you do it properly, but you need to think outside the square at times and do what works rather than what the norm say should work.
Prove it to yourself...
