Reg cab long bed vs extended cab long bed?

The longer wheelbase makes it possible to move the COG forward.
Pickup bed is normally centered over the rear axle. To load a pickup to GVWR the product must be pretty dense. And even if the load is centered over the drive, moving the steering forward will make weight on front remain more constant as the rear hits road bumps, so handle better..

TCs don’t have movable COGs. You get what the factory builds. The pickup bed is never centered above the rear axle on purpose by factory but can happen on really short bed trucks. Most pickups with TCs are near or over GVWR.

I’m not sure what you mean when you say even if the load is centered over the drive.

I think you are confusing that long big trucks are built to have higher GVWR when they make them longer with pickups that don’t. You can go look at the GVWR charts for any pickups to see this fact. Likewise, the most payload for trucks can always be found with the regular cabs compared to crew cabs. Again, you simply need to look at the charts.

Pickups typically have exactly the same rear axle/front axle/transmission no matter which cab they have. They don’t change the brakes etc just because you have a longer cab.
