With the truck it was easier to break traction without much weight transfer. Whereas in the car you're getting the whole thing rotating. Speaking of rotating... A lot of what you are feeling is the wheelbase. Your truck probably had much larger dimensions. The car is 2570mm and thus rotates faster.

This is kind of our thing. People often focus on horsepower/torque and maybe weight, but your wheelbase and chassis setup dictates a lot of your experience. Food for thought.
