The difference between a short and long bed is approx 2 feet. That 2 feet allows me to carry air compressor, extra stuff, fishing gear full sheets of plywood all with the tail gate closed and stuff flat on the floor!
With my fold a cover in place and open, I have 2 feet of space under cover. I have approx 150 pounds less weight with no slider hitch. I can take my hitch out in two pieces by my self. Short bed trucks ARE a rarity in 2500 and 3500 configuration. Go look in dealers lots and try to find one! Like I said "YOU MAY NEED OR WANT" I did not say you must have.
The OP is totally free to do what he wants. It is his money afterall. All I was trying to do was give hom things to think about, not get into an argument with you.
Sorry donn0128, I currently own 2500 Duramax with 6’6” bed and have family with 3500 RAM that are also short beds. When going through dealerships or seeing what’s on the road one would see that shorts are the more popular in 3/4 and 1 ton. This is I’m sure why hitch manufacturers sell so many sliders and why fifth wheel manufacturers rounded there corners and made the more short bed friendly.
