Difference between SWB and LWB vehicles

"The SWB and LBW is the distance measured from axle to axle. Each maker will have different measurements and size and weight. So the terms are just a guide to the model."

"The wheelbase is the measurement from the centre point of the front wheels to the centre point of the rear wheels. Though we have gone metric this length is often still quoted in inches. The longer the wheelbase the greater the cubic capacity of the load area. However, obviously, the longer the van the more unwieldy in narrow streets and when parking and there is not much point buying an LWB unless you need it's extra capacity. 

An LWB van will usually have a higher load rating than a SWB one. But again, if all you carry are a few cans of paint and some step ladders then the extra load facility is academic. 

There should not be much difference - if any - regarding the insurance costs."

" If you plan to carry heavy small things, then the SWB will be better, but if you plan to carry furniture, the LWB will suit your needs better. You will also find low, medium and high roof variants of these."
