My 2016 Regular Cab with 8' bed RAM CTD is not happy!:(
These trucks are uncommon, true. but available. And we have lots of room behind the seats for storing groceries and stuff. With the wide rear window I have great over-the-shoulder visibility ... much better than my previous F150 SuperCab.
I love the short wheelbase, 140", and tight turning radius (parking is a cinch, and all the space the 8' bed provides. And then there's the higher payload.
The RAM 2500 RegCab is only available in the lower trims. But SLT with the Lux option is more than enough for us. It only seats 3 people (best to have an auto with col shifter), but does heat up and cool down faster than the larger cabs.
We love ours.
EDIT: And no problem towing our 28' trailer. We do use an Equal-I-Zer hitch to help control sway. Tried it once on a windy day without, and while the 8500# trailer was blown around, the truck was stable.
