Re: 2018 Desert Trip

Rob,

I've been considering making a trail rig myself. Looking at all the different style of trucks present on your trip would you say there is any advantage to certain trucks i.e. wheelbase? I would say I would like to do the kind of trail exploring you guys do. Not hardcore rock crawling.

I've got two small kids and would guess I should build up a crew cab or suburban. I'm leaning towards a crew cab so I can put a popup in the bed as opposed to the suburban. Moreover, I'm debating a short bed vs long bed. Would you say the shorter the wheelbase the better?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks for posting your trips! Very fun to follow along.

Wil
