It's not just the Dodge. Trucks in general have been getting higher and higher, with deeper and deeper beds.
I never had a problem getting into my 2003 Silverado 1500, but if I don't put running boards on my new 2015 soon, I'm going to ruin the seat climbing in. The bleepin' thing sits 6" higher than the old truck.
Why the manufacturers think everybody likes/wants that huge jacked-up look, I don't know. Who wants to lift 80lb bags of concrete up 4' to get them into the bed of one of these monstrosities?
It's going to be a problem sooner or later with these giant McMansion 5th wheels that are already pushing 13' tall... If you've got to raise them another 6" to get one of these trucks underneath to tow 'em... There are going to be a lot of AC units knocked off.
