2013 or 2014 should be fine. I almost bought a 2012 Mega Cab DRW with 3.73 gears...until I found it only had 10,500 GVWR and 2600# payload. Pretty weak for a 3500 dually. But Dodge says the towing numbers for the 2013 should be substantially more than 2012.
The Ram Body Builder Guide shows much more respectable numbers for 2013 for the Megacab.
When I did the math - if you're going to stay within all of your ratings, the 2012 ratings were way to low for most fifth wheels.
True in that the MY 2013 they really upped the ratings. The previous years had some soft rear spring paks thus the lower numbers. Having said that I see a ton of MC pulling big campers just fine.
