Is there any great noticable differance between the ride quality, gas mileage,of a LWB and a SWB Quad cab besides having to have more room to turn? Still trying to buy one!

I came from a 2002 2500 4X4 SB single with the camper package to a 2007 3500 4X4 dually LB and yea my 2007 rides like night a day way smoother ( no chop ) then the 2002. Yes it sure does take more room to manuver it around also.

Gas Mileage?[] I aint go no stinking Hemi under the hood of my truck so I don’t get Gas Mileage![:'(] I do get fuel mileage from my Cummins diesel engine and it’s between 14-15.5 mpg City and 18 and 20.5 mpg on the Hwy and its not yet broke in.

I dont know how you guys are getting 20 mpg, I am only getting 16. But as far as the question at hand, I came from a short bed to a long bed and I get a far better ride with the long bed, both trucks were 4x4.
