Does Bed length/wheelbase matter?
Looking at a short bed 2013 Crew Ram 2500 diesel. I remember reading somewhere about wheelbase effecting maximum length of trailer you should tow. Is there anything to that? One day soon we want to...

12 Ram CC LB 169" WB here, plenty of room in front of the hitch for all the stuff that won't go in the 5'er. Not sure it handles any better towing the 5'er as I never towed with a short bed. Parking can have it's issues whether towing or empty. Backing up with a LB can get tricky as it won't react the same as a SB. Also when backing up with the 5'er and your in some CG's with narrow tighter roads you need more room as the LB is 20" longer than the SB. I have never been in a predicament that I couldn't take care of with the LB, but may not of been in it with the SB. With all that being said, I would never go back to a short bed even if the ride was the same. I just like the extra room the bed has.
