That’s a wild assumption because the six cylinder falcons are a solid package.
Apart from payload rating and ground clearance I couldn’t think of any other benefit those gutless, thirsty, cramped, uncomfortable, noisey, horrible driving & riding Jap Utes will have over a Falcon.

I’d be opting for an FG2 XR6 manual. Awesome engine and trans package. Reasonably attractive interior. Bluetooth stereo, some came with sat nav. Modern enough even by today’s standards. They are a rolls Royce compared to the jap utes mentioned above.
