Should I get Sandking XL or SWB?

[takayi]

And no, Dubsta 6x6 is not an option because I already have one
But I also want Sandking so are there any differences between them except for 2/4-door?

 

[Cant-B-Faded]

Neither.

[takayi]

Okay, I'll get the both of them. Thanks!

[mareepx]

Why do you want a Sand if you've already got the 6x6?

(Sand, not Sandking, because now Dubsta 6x6 is king of off roaders)

[Bongsquirrel]

Just no.

[~TKP~]

SWB sandking is the dawgs. I've got stuck on a rock 4 wheels off the ground with the XL once too often. I never get stuck with the SWB. Suffice to say I traded my XL in a few days ago for the new 6x6. It's the dawgs also but I still find my SWB being used more.

[Drizzzzle]

Sandking is the best. Get the SWB... better for offroading, racing, etc....

[takayi]

Sand might not be the king of sand anymore but it's still the king of big and mean cars. Dubsta is quite small.

[Pusher87]

Swb stands for short wheel base and in real life that is a HUGE plus for offroading and especially climbing although in GTA they both perform pretty much the same. The SWB should (in theory) be lighter but again it behaves just like its bigger and heavier brother. If you look at purpose built climbing SUVs irl they are usually 2 doors and very short.

Get the XL because IT IS XTRA LARGE!

 

AMERICA!

Depends on what you do, I feel the SWB is better for obstacle type courses due to the short wheel base. The XL is better for jumps and climbing outdoors due to its long wheel base. Either way the differences are minor, both will do so just pick the one that is the most aesthetically pleasing.

[Icebergg Slimm]

SWB > XL if you care about off-roading. Less likely to be high centered, tighter turning radius, etc.

[Geisterfaust]

SWB is more about off-roading. I own both XL and SWB, there is a minor difference in handling, but I can't vouch that you'll be able to reach places with SWB that you won't with XL and I did a lot of off-roading.

I don't get the idea about that Dubsta 6x6 — Sandking XL (SWB) argument. If you're into off-roading, you're definitely using both cars along with something else.

Ex: in Sandking I'm able to cross much deeper rivers, than 6x6. And still, 6x6 climbs better. Unless there are stones on your way: it's Sandking territory. In practise, Sandking = 90% of 6x6 possibilities for 10% price. And in extreme circumstances you can destroy your car 5-6 times per session.

SWB is for "real" offroaders.

 

And for the people saying the 6x6 is the new top dog...... you are bad and you should feel bad. 6x6 is a concrete princess..

It's all about driving realistically and clearance. If not, even Entity of Sultan are off-roaders.

SWB, to some it might not be the KING anymore, but i still like the looks of it more than the 6x6.

That just depends... are you making an off-road car or a douchemobile? I made a douchemobile.

[Kampret]

Did they patched the RWD-only bug on Sandking?

It's 4x4 again

Thanks mate! TIme to get back my Sandking XL from MMI, been there since 1.13 (where they ruined 4WD vehicles).

[XJpostman]

Get which ever one you like the look of. I personally don't like how the bottom windows don't match the top of the box on the SWB, but it does seem a little sportier than the XL, and has fog lights behind the grill that the XL doesn't.

I prefer the XL because the windows look better and the extra seating. I don't find the extra length to be a hindrance either as your front tires can reach the top of boulders easier and help pull the rears up.

 

It really comes down to you're preference in looks.

I have the XL and love it now that they fixed the 4WD, even 2WD it was fun. Considering a SWB for rock climbing, thay are both better for climbing rocks and crushing cars than the Dubsta. Dubsta is fun for knocking other cars halfway across the map. I have the 6 wheel Dubsta and the 4 wheel, both are great fun but I spend more time in the 4 wheel. Space not and issue I would get them all, and another great in town SUV for knocking cars around is the Huntley and it is very fast.

 

I have 2 characters, one has mostly Super and Sports cars, the other has mostly Offroad and Muscle.

6x6=SWB>XL

From those two I would say the xl because of more passenger space but I personally hate the design so I would go for a Bodhi, it looks awesome and has lots of mods and you and your friends will look bad ass in the back. The Bodhi is a lot faster than the sand king but it has less clearance. It depends if you want it for races or climbing mountains or rocks because the sandking's suspension is like a marshmallow, it absorbs the forces or inclines but it feels awful when driving and cornering. The rebel is also quite good but for rock climbing it sucks and it lacks in power when going up inclines, I remember seeing an entity climb up and I would spin out and slide down even though I eased the throttle when wheel spinning.

 

races: sanchez or bifta

hill climbs/mountains: sandking xl or Bodhi

looks: rebel (clean one has a spawn so don't waste 22k

out of your options I would say the xl over the swb because it's a little longer and seats 2 more, the mods are pretty much the same and unless you want it to look cool the chances are you may not use the bumper mods because it ruins the clearance it already has.

[Miss Malevolent]

XL baby, XL!

[tsouryavong13]

If you wanna fit 3 other people, get the XL. If you wanna fit one other person, get the SWB.

ah, but if you look at my pic above you'll see the SWB can be found on the street with the brush guard, but without the air dam part. also can be found with or without the roll bar combination as well. whether or not you can find the same thing with the XL, i'm not totally sure on, but i've yet to see an XL on the street like this. anyone know different please let me know.

Again the 6x6 could climb up there
