I would imagine it has to do with traction and ability to apply braking forces without skidding the wheels.

Even in a pickup truck, it's easy to skid the rear wheels (antilock brakes aside) with the bed empty because the brakes can easily overcome the traction of the tires. This is why pickups have height sensing proportioning valves.
