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.

For starters you won't regret the Megacab . Mine is a 2014 3500 Megacab, and with these newer fifth wheels there is no concern with cab clearance . Have towed two different fifth wheels ,with two different hitch, no issues . We can certainly get into hitches later ,but as far as the truck its been great . You might be asking a bit much for a SRW with any of the trucks with the weight you have.

The one nice thing, is the Megacab comes in a short bed dually . The best of two worlds for us that don't want, need ,or like long bed trucks :)
