Setting Up Tow Vehicle w/hitch, Etc
Looking at buying a 3500 Ram Mega Cab with short box and wondering if this may be problem towing a fifth wheel trailer. Is a special hitch required so the cab does not hit the trailer? Also about how ...

Wow, a lot of misinformation here with respect to the bed length. The posters that say the bed is shorter with the Megacab are indeed incorrect; it is 6'4" which is the same length as any shortbox HD Ram.
My fiver has a rounded front cap so I don't need to worry about the trailer contacting the cab in the vast majority of circumstances. If I find I'm in a place where I will need to cut sharp to back in I have the Ram (Curt) manual slider hitch and it takes literally 1 minute to slide it. I try to avoid cutting sharp while backing anyway because it is extremely hard on the running gear of a large, heavy fiver like ours.
We love the Megacab and with ours being DRW is it somewhat rare. I also LOVE the fact that it fits inside our garage! :B
