Does your 2019 Dodge have a steel bed, rather than aluminum, as the Ford does now?
Here's a good video an info for a ram 5500 flatbed. About half price of a Douglas body, so he says.

Yeah, steel. I agree with you that the aluminum is the issue, not so much the weight of the camper if that weren't the case.
NO the aluminum bed is NOT the issue. I have had both. The 2004 steel bed was much worse. As I indicate in my earlier posts, the horse stall mats and Torklift tie downs have made bed damage in my aluminum bed a non-issue. My aluminum bed still looks new after 15k miles on the new setup.
