[QUOTE="surfman, post: 459303, member: 7404"] Short WB is better for backing because the truck reacts much faster to steering especially in tight places, long wheel base is better for the road, more cumfy. Look at the rigs they use to move a mobile home with, very short wheel base on those tractors but, they usually are not towing long distances either. You would only need 4x4 if you are loading on poor quality dirt ramps, I had a 2WD F-150 for ever and rarely had an issue with it on just about any ramp and even launched from some crappy dirt ramps. I do have a 4x4 now though but mainly for off road use, the locker rear end is usually all you need for most ramps as mentioned above. Even limited slip is a big improvement. [/QUOTE]
