Mega Cam Ram 3500 and towing fifth wheel

Thinking about getting a Ram and trying to decide if the 3500 mega cab is a good choice for towing a fifth wheel. By my measurements my 2017 F350 and the dodge mega cab have within 1/2 inch or identical distance from the back of the cab to the goose neck ball.

It would appear the Mega cab will work... my new to me 5ver is 14500 empty and also want to know the difference between the 3500 and 2500 ram. Is it the springs... axel size what is the difference.

Thoughts are welcome....I don't regret getting the f350 .. but never had a F250 so hard to tell..


Thanks for input.

So a bit confused your signature states 2004 GM 2500, but you reference a 2017 F350 as your current TV.

I would be great if you made it clear what you are currently towing with, and what 5er you just purchased.

The 3500 Mega Cab short box will likely be a bit shy on GVWR at 11,700#. The Mega Cab also says that you have a family, not just a couple.
I passed on a post 2013 Ram 3500 SRW LB with a GVWR of 12,300# as I would be right at GVWR. We now have a 2016 Ram 3500 Laramie DRW, and tows and carries our 13,000# 5er like a dream.
