I can give you my reasons Wayne.I came from a crew cab, long bed F350 so I'm not scared of length. I have three boys and two dogs. I need/wanted a crew cab again. Ram makes a megacab...and it is awesome for a family vehicle. Since my truck has my kids in it more than a TC on the back, I took the shortbed to have a bigger cab. Would I prefer a long bed? You bet. Even looked and talked to the company that converts megacabs to longbeds. 8k is a lot of cash...so, shortbed it remains.Obviously, my truck is as long as a crew with a longbed...so it not a smaller truck.
I know your post was aimed at the guys with a bed choice...just wanted to point out us few megacab owners.
I thought megacabs came in one ton duallys. That certainly would allow for more weight and that is what the thread is about. You can have your cab and carry a fairly heavy short bed camper.
As I recall, the issue is weight distribution, not just weight. In the past month or so there was a thread on this subject. It had lots of specific info on it, including a link that identified which of the Rams with TC limits. I am sure a search will find the thread.
