Pardon my ignorance, If am right isnt the Acura MDX and the GMC Envoy a Monocoque design.
Also the Acura drives the front wheels, has a short wheelbase and a wide track to boot for its size... which obviously makes it a better handler no doubt ..
And the Safari is a body on ladder driving the rear wheels .... but yes handling can be improved but not to the extent of a monocoque ...
