So, your thoughts?

Matt - I would for the very reason you posted. I plow, but unlike others that have posted almost all of the areas that I plow are narrow, tight, residential driveways. My SC short box (141" wb) is too long for them. Even my former RC LB (133") was too long for them.

Besides plowing I would love one for wheeling as all the trails in NY state are tight and narrow. The width of the truck might still be an issue as most of the trails were cut by Jeeps/EB's/Land Rovers. But as stated before it all depends on how you use your truck.
