V10 James!! Welcome to the V10 forum!! Personally, I like the SWB better than the LWB. For one thing, in my opinion, they handle much better while pulling a heavy load, secondly, i just like the looks better (more proportioned), and thirdly, the're a damn site easier to turn around and park in a normal space. With the LWB you're always looking for a place to park the thing, and just try the LWB with some spirited off-road work, the things flex and twist something fierce, compared to the SWB. The ride is much better with the SWB, as the frame flex is not so pronounced!! In the final opinion, we drive our trucks unloaded, the majority of the time, so the SWB is the truck for me!! Also, when I went to look for a SWB V10, the only options I had in Florida and Georgia was (2) LWB V10 trucks and (1) SWB, the one I bought. Things are DAMN hard to get!!It was in the Atlanta area (450 miles away), and had to be driven back to Florida. Fortunately, the truck had just the options I was looking for, Patriot Blue, QC, All the HD packages and the tow pkg, 2wd, Automatic, Posi-trac,
leather guts, trip and mileage computer, etc, etc, etc. It was loaded!! Either I took this one, or would have had to factory order and wait forever. Also, don't know of anyone making a bed extender for the full size RAM at this time. I know DODGE makes one for the DAKOTA. Let us know if you find availability on a bed extender for the full size truck. GUZZI
