Jmho, and
after checking with other makes several years ago and specs.
a few years ago -- would opt for long bed,in
any package p/u. Have heard of too many that got 'jack-
knifed' for whatever reason - that if had long bed and trailer
ball mounted correctly, would not have had damages to cab of truck
or nose of trailer. Or got hung up , on uneven road surfaces, and
damaged truck sides.
Other - consideration - a
truck with sides that 'sit low' over different
terrain, but has underground clearance . Ie. Trailer pulls level. (
why I like GMC - had best 'pumpkin' clearance then . ?? now) -
that is what counts. Found most Fords and Dodges are
to high profile, unless raise trailers; horses then travel uneven;
and still have problem with catching sides of truck or back.??
And, as far as - 'snow vehicle' want more ground clearance
underneath - and an inch can make diffence ( GMC had better clearance)
, and GMC was easier to get in and out of, especially with 'bad back'.
