long wheel base
the only down side to a long wheelbase 4x4 is when you get into a real tight spot, like a turn with trees or rocks on each side. long wheel base trucks have been getting a bad rap from rock crawlers because they hang up in tight spots. in the mud they often get around better than short wheelbase trucks because they reach across ditches and holes the short wheelbase guys fall in to.
