I remember driving a hired short wheelbase Land Rover and trailer, thinking that a Land Rover would be the perfect tow vehicle. Talk about the tail wagging the dog! I did the same journey with the same load, a couple of weeks later and used a long wheelbase LR and it was like chalk and cheese. The LWB LR was far more stable. The SWB was much easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces! Horses for courses! I personally prefer something which is more stable on the road. (please excuse all the horse puns!)
