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 get a bigger travel trailer or maybe even a 5'er.

    More space in a LB and no need for a more expensive hitch. I had 1 SB and it was still easier to back into parking spaces so that part is a non-issue to me. My SB had a small gas tank... ggrrr! There wasn't very much I liked about the SB. Craig

    Long beds will usually ride better, short beds will park easier and fit better in a garage.
    If your considering a 5er down the road by all means shop a 35 series for payload alone.
