If the wheelbase is less than 244 inches...
If there's no real hood in front of my windshield....
you won't find me driving it.
Longer wheelbase = more stability

I have driven both and yes, I believe the cabover offeres a shorter turning radius and increased vision because of it's lack of a big hood in your line of sight, however, I believe that almost every one hates having to "Jack UP" the cab to take a look at engine components and fan belts....ect....ect You get the picture... Your stuff has to be secured or it falls through the windshield when the cab tilts. I guess we just get a bit lazy when it comes to that, and that means that there will be some who will cut their Pre-Trip Inspection short because they just won't do that unless absolutely necessary......... Hope that helps......
