[A/S] Ford F ?50 PSD LWB or SWB?



ok, van is at the dealer getting its annual, free detailing.
being appraised.  salesguy putting numbers together.

will be 6.0L PSD Crew Cab  Super Duty

but which do I want?  an F250  or an F350?
the only difference the salesguy says between the two is a leaf on the rear
spring set  and the 350 CAN come with a longer wheelbase and bed if that is what
I want.  brakes, tranny, engine, yada all the same otherwise.

I know that a LWB is more comfortable on the highway.  that is an everyday fact.
but, it sure is more difficult to maneuver that 31' Classic with the additional
bed length. 
for some reason, that extra 16" makes itself known when you are spotting the
trailer.

also, what do I have to do to get the neato built in trailer brake controller
dealy??

anyway... HELP???

cheers
