LCs are used because those are the vehicles - or similar - that they use when deployed.
I'm reassured about the D3. PAGODA

Maybe braking down in no mans land like sitting ducks is more of a hazard than a potential roll!! Club N.E.R.D.s

We had a customer in the mid 90's who rolled her Range Rover classic down an enbankment in bad weather. She was on the school run, luckily it ended up on its wheels. After making sure everyone was OK she started it up and drove home before calling us out to recover the car.
The bad news was the car was 1 year and 1 day old, if she'd had the accident the day before she would of got a new vehicle, instead it was repaired, we put a new body on it !!

NFU give 2 years new for old....
Back OT, given the fact that your trainees will be using similar kit in their roles, I would have thought a roll cage in the current vehicles makes more sense than providing a 3t car with a whole host of safety aids that can't be disabled. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
