I agree with the greater room in the back seat of a lwb truck. I have used a swb truck, and knee room seems significantly less. However, the biggest benefit we have found with our lwb Ram is that we can put our bikes in the bed of the truck in front of the hitch. We tried hanging the bikes off the back, but it was a lot of work, and two bikes puts too much load on the ladder. We don't have a rear bumper on the 5th wheel, so no other way to mount on the back.
We are able to get both bikes, our 2 ladders, and two coolers in the bed of the truck, without any of it interfering with towing. Since we travel for 3 or so months at a time, this extra space is really helpful. Not a lot of extra weight, either.
