I'm looking at purchasing a Quad cab short bed 3500. I had a Ford short bed prior to this and I've found that the ford had a 6'10" bed, where the Dodge has 6'2" I'm just wondering if this is a hinderance when piling stuff in the back.

 

I haven't found it to be a problem at all. There's always the trailer if I don't have enough room.

 

Bought the wife an 05 sb quad 4x4 3500. Puleed 5th wheel great but when making sharp turns had to be very careful due to the shoeter than normal bed. My gooseneck stock trailer was no problem due to the tapered nose. I was always nervous about making sharp turns with the 5th wheel because I did not want to get the trailer nose into the cab. They make slider 5th wheel hitches but I already had a B&W 5th wheel hitch.

 

i have a mega cab and i got auto slider for my camper.

 

I have a 2007 Mega Cab and i love it! I have had both Long bed(04 QC DRW) and now the Short bed with my Mega Cab 3500. And i have not had any problems yet... Plus i think the Mega Cabs have a Slick look to them..

 

Relay 93. Is your truck lifted or stock. I am looking two trucks right now. One is a Mega cab 4x4 with a 4" lift. The top of the bed rail is 60" and the bed is 40". The other truck is stock 3500 4x4. The top of the bed rail is 57" and 37 bed.

I'm afraid the mega cab truck with a 4" lift will be too high. The 3500 is already 3" higher then my ford I used to pull it with.

Oh, I forgot to mention that this will be used to pull a fifth wheeler. the bottom of the king pin is 42" which is low according to sources.

Anybody pulling 5th wheelers out there with a lifted truck. I don't want the sled look!

 

I went from a 2000 F250 Superduty to my 08 Ram 2500 both with short box's And I haul a slide in camper. The only issue I ran in to was I had to have my camper mounts moved on the camper. The 8" is quite noticeable though.
