But I'd appreciate it if someone would explain why the length of a
towing vehicle...pickup truck or whatever...seems to matter in towing a
boat.

A longer wheelbase provides more directional stability if the trailer
trys to "wag the dog" so to speak. That said, for a low speed local
tow it shouldn't make any difference at all.
