8 ft v 6ft
I am getting a new tv and if I get a short bed will that limit my future towing of a large toy hauler? Planning on getting a 2017 Ram mega can diesel 6 foot bed

Do what you want but the 8' bed has no compromises. I do understand the Mega has more room in the back but the Crew has PLENTY IMHO.
Perfect tow rig IMHO. No compromising.
Mega Cab back seats recline. What storage you gain in your tool box I have behind my back seat. I lay my back seat down in the mega cab and the floor is flat from the front seats all the way to the back of the cab. Mega Cab also has a tighter turning radius.transamz9 wrote:

Nice to have options! Still your reasons for liking are not anything that matter to me and Vice Versa. :B- Just stayed in the ozarks the past 7 nights, our spot had a small turn around to get out of, in my short bed, i think i could have easily gone 90*, and as it urns out i was close. Still didnt have to release my slider.
My 3500 short bed pulls like a beast, and fits in my garage. Just get a slider hitch, likely never use it, but know its there just in case. - We went for the 6' as my wife drives the TV full time. The 8ft bed is bus it just doesnt turn making daily use and parking a chore. So it all depends on the most use of the vehicle. We spend around 30 nights in the TT. If we retire and travel more that might change as 8ft bed with a longer wheeelbase would be more comfortable on long tows.
