I'm not sure that's a downside, at least for towing a trailer of reasonable length, say up to ~ 30'. My 2006 Silverado had a wheelbase of 143.5" and towed our 24' K-Z Spree (27' coupler to bumper) just fine. At lease end I switched to an Avalanche with a 130" wheelbase and didn't notice any difference in towing at all. In fact, the Av was actually better once in the campground as it's tighter turning radius made it just that much easier to negotiate the trailer on to the campsite while avoiding awkwardly placed trees, rocks, campsite posts, etc. :W Now I'm back to the longer wheelbase with our '12 Silverado and once again have to put a bit more effort into the process when backing on to a campsite - out on the road there's no difference at all between the two wheelbases.
