LWB or SWB GQ

Post by santaz351 »

Hi all
which of the above two is better? Does it simply come down to personal preference or is one better than the other? i'm in the hunt for either and just wanted to hear other peoples opinions

they say shorties wheel stand a bit more than the wagons....

Might seem alittle left field, but I've had short and long Suzukis.....Different kettle of fish, I know, but same principal. In my opinion the lwb is the pick, more stable, better ride, less prone to going end for end........The trade off is less ramp over (so lift it!). I just bought a Lwb GQ, after my last short suzi did a backflip trying to climb a steep hill. :D Then I went and bought a rough and ready Lwb Sierra :D :D :D

LWB = always more capable on steeper climbs/etc (depending on lift tyre combination) and more practical. Too long and ugly imo

SWB = Very capable and scary (ie; wheel standy) when modded.
Not very practical, but roomier than a zook/rocky.
Look really good when modded.

good plan, but the Mrs wants to come along on weekends, with the kids, and the dogs!. . hard to fit em all in a shortie.. unless I put the mrs and the kids on the roof rack, but she might object to that..
