Neat part is it is only about 3 ft longer. The cab is shorter being a COE and not having a nose. The old wheel base was 186 inches and this one is 196 inches except they measure between the duals not the center of the axle like the Single Axle one did. If you seen them side by side the difference in the tanks would be big time. You can turn the old one side ways and it would take 2 to fill the space on the bed! This one seems to turn sharper and now with the extra weight on the rear I was able to climb my dirt hill with out spinning. It should get around nice with a load of water and the top bolted on. The twin Locking rear ends will help push it nice along with the extra 240 HP the engine puts out. Mark H.
