Back decades ago when I was trying to go everywhere I could in my K/20, I never found much problem with the long wheelbase. It was usually the width that was a problem, plus I had a shell that stuck up above the cab about a foot that would catch tree limbs or worse, a tree trunk if you were off camber which is often the case. I probably should have bought a SWB K/10 with cab high shell considering what I was trying to do with it,

I just noticed that there was a Suburban with you, and how you had to add overhanging racks for spare tire and gas cans.
It's like anything else. An advantage in one area is a disadvantage in another. I don't have as much space as Larry's K10 does inside. All of us with the campers really had to watch in the trees and the off camber stuff. On this trip I didn't drag the rear bumper at all, but last year in Moab I drug it alot. It depends on the terrain I guess.
