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...

I'm not saying it's not possible, but towing a falcon with a falcon you do have to be very aware of all your weights to keep it legal. Modern falcons weigh the best part of 1800kg for the base model, which only leaves a max of 500kg for the trailer and associated hardware. It's not much. Also I know the GVM for a FG is only 2240kg from memory which doesn't leave a lot for payload. Factor in a driver, fuel and ball weight and there isn't much room for much by way of luggage or passengers. I can't remember what the rear axle rating was but this is also a limiting factor. They are primarily built for family transport these days.
So yes, it can be done, but to stay legal you need to know all your weights.
