Hi Warren
A short wheel base vehicle becomes a better tow vehicle due to the distance from the rear axle to the "A" frame.
Short wheel base vehicle are more prone to being blown around on the road when compaired to a long wheel base. However this is a Landie so
1. It's to heavy to be blown around &
2. It want go fast enough anyway (Sorry just couldn't help myself)

Cheers
