What's the deal? They look identical to me. One costs a little more on super autos...other than that what exactly is the difference? Is one of them a better choice than the other?

The XL is an extended cab and is bigger, I think. Stats seem to indicate more power under the hood l, as well.

One of them has a shorter wheel base while one is longer, I forget which is which though haha...

 

 

 

But srsly, the SWB is less likely to get beached when rock climbing but the XL seats 2 more people and is just a big ass truck.

^ I'm pretty sure he was joking...

 

Anyways, I prefer the XL. The two seats are useful-ish but I just like the way it looks with the canopy on it better.

 

If you are going to be using it for racing (which would be kinda silly as there are far better options) then the SWB is a tiny bit better, but for me it's just a play-around vehicle.

If you check out some creator races you'll find some races in which the Sandking and only the Sandking can complete.

 

My Sandkings have won me plenty of races.

Both of them or just one version? What are the races? Maybe I can use them to compare.

SWB is 2-Door and XL is 4-Door. Not sure how you don't see that, but XL all the way!

The XL is longer, seats 4 instead of 2, and is IMO a hell lot better looking.

 

The SWB is more maneuverable since it's shorter.

 

 

Since both aren't going to win you any race, I'd say go for the XL any day.

If you drive up the dirt road between the prison and lsc in an XL between the hours of 9-5 npc modded sandkings spawn worth up to 18K this is the reason i have the XL over the SWB

Shame that there's a weird glitch where you put any Sandking in your garage it gets that ugly bullbar and there is no way to remove it

Was trying to get one without it yesterday and every time I drove into LSC or bought one it was automatically thrown on with no way to remove it (LSC Parts glitch wasn't working).

I like the SWB for off-roading. You may like to try this: SandKings Only http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps4/jobs/job/Tmf0CQsSJU2zHxovUxjkbA

Had both - sold XL because I wasn't using the other seats. Think the SWB handles just that little bit better. Both were good cars to have in the snow.

You gotta go XL and have those extra seats.

Is the back still bulletproof with the double-bars option?

I have both. The XL is a good looking truck with decent on and off-road manners. The SWB is slightly quicker and better off-road. It has less mass (Weight) and when you don't put the huge bumper and fuel tanks on it it can clear a lot of obstacles.

Both I use an XL on one character and the SWB with the other character.

 

Just look up created jobs on Rockstar social club and #sandking. A bunch of races designed for Sandkings will pop up.

I have the SWB, but after seeing these XL's with a cap, I kind of want one. It has a Ford Excursion look to it.

The cap requires rank-72. In 2013 it was the highest-rank-locked non-performance mod option
