Long bed TC vs short bed TC

I’ve owned three TCs for long bed trucks, one on a dually, and was considering downsizing to a Lance 825 on a SRW 3500 GMC, will I notice a difference in handling/ride with the short bed truck/TC vs the long bed truck/TC?
  • We own a 2015 SRW Ram 3500 Mega Cab, and haul 2012 Ascent (by Chalet) S85RS that has a floor length of 9’5” and have now issues and it is super heavy 4700# fully wet and ready to travel. Our truck has the factory air assist suspension and therefore has no rear sway bar which I wish the truck had. A 3500 SRW will be more than enough for the 825 Lance, and you likely will notice no difference in handling, unless the 825 is much lighter, then handling dynamics will be improved compared to what you are used to!

    How was your experience with the dually?
    Very good, just looking to downsize in size and weight to a non slide out tc.
