That's fucken retarded- have you ever LOOKED under the front of that Falcon? Could you please inform me of the 'less dumb' features that front end has? Advantages of leaf springs in the back of the utes? Advantages of utes with 600 kilo load capacity due to a plastic garbage bin liner instead of STEEL?
You've finally gone mad

Link pin setup?
Front Z-bar bushes?
Leaf springs = more even tyre wear, rather than tearing the inner edges to canvas while the casting marks remain on the outside edges, either from using heaps of throttle or towing/lowering/carrying.
Plastic garbage bin liner is apparently easily replacable, so you can bung a new one in and it looks nice when you go to sell the car, rather than having a rusty and dinted bucket of crap.
You can also apparently fit a normal pallet in between the wheel arches of a falcon ute, not so in the SS.
I could also be reading this page incorrectly: Clicky (which is possible because the site is SHIT) but it appears the XR6 styleside ute has a 725kg payload capacity, or 1230kg if the "one tonne" option is chosen...whatever that is.
As compared to the SS ute Clicky which Holden claims 650kg/640kg for manual/auto, and probably ends up with -2.5* rear camber while doing it.
SS might be better at going fast (at least when stock) But the XR6 shits on it if you are actually going to use a ute for the kind of things utes were originally designed
