I know the shortbed has the 34 gal. Tank. The main thing for me is diesel pumps are usually easier to access when traveling with a 38’ fifthwheel in tow.
I can't imagine anyone with a new SRW short box 1 ton diesel not enjoying their towing experience but if I were going to pick one thing to complain about with my truck it would be the small fuel tank. However, it doesn't bother me enough to justify spending $2000 on an aftermarket fuel tank or make me wish I had a long box.
I can't imagine spending the $ to upgrade to a behemoth F450 from a short bed gasser, unless that was really the wrong choice to begin with.... I mean probably was since Gasser and 5th wheel generally aren't a great combo.
If towing is mostly what it's used for then yeah, but sounds more like buyers remorse and not making the same mistake twice by going overkill on round 2.
Which is good I suppose. Know plenty of people who are like goldilocks. Too big, trade in, too small, trade in, just right, new camper, now too big/small, rinse and repeat.
By that account, a F450 pickup is pretty much a 1 and done solution. Go for it!
