Vehicles like the Trackhawk are AWD for the same reasons a Skyline GTR is.
re the sand comment above they rely on cool electronics rather than locked diffs

same comparison between Everest and the Territory, the territory had way more space and could fit 3 seats across.

PS My territory also had bigger much wider tyres than you could fit on a Falcon so it handled pretty well.
ripping through country roads in the wet would be where they outclass most sedans
