Okaaay, but walking this discussion back a dozen or so, we were talking about extended cab versus crew cab trucks, and why one version may (or may not) be better for towing. To reiterate (at least for Ford's): wheelbase the same. Distance from rear axle to ball, the same. So the difference between the two is a personal one (people versus cargo), but I can't see any difference in towing characteristics.
