You've mentioned this on several occasions however looking at the factory RAM Camper Loading Guide and fooling with the "A" and "B" dimensions given in the factory guide, all (fairly recent) RAM short bed models have a CG envelope from several inches in front of the (rear) axle to 4-7 inches behind the rear axle. Even the shaded CG area in the diagram (RAM factory) show a CG envelope approximately the outer diameter of the rear tire (front and back). Diesel models generally allow a further rear CG than gas (probably due to the +800# Cummins hangin up front) and all diesel models show rear CG aft of the rear axle.
Not all trucks are created equal
