One easily conquered drawback of the 231 is its length. With the introduction of the planetary reduction assembly and long tail sections, the 231 can offer a mild hindrance when performing some swaps with long engines and/or transmissions. This problem is worsened by suspension lifts and resulting u-joint angularity. It is recommended that a heavy-duty short tail shaft conversion be performed to reduce the length of this unit.

Because of its length, U.S. 231 has lost its identity as the second branch of U.S. 31, but the number and the general routing remain the same today as the 1952 extension. In fact, the route no longer intersects with U.S. 31 in Montgomery. The two routes are carried around the city-U.S. 231 on East Boulevard; U.S. 31 on West Boulevard. However, U.S. 231 coincides with U.S. 31E between Bransford, Tennessee, and Scottsville, Kentucky. U.S. 231 ... briefly coincides with U.S. 31W in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The first change in routing for U.S. 231 appears in the AASHO log issued in 1935. As requested by the Florida highway agency, the change shifted the Florida routing away from Marianna. It now went through Campbellton, Cottondale, Round Lake, and Youngstown to Panama City. The revised routing, a more direct route for motorists, was 209 miles long.
