Well I noticed after looking at this picture, while maybe not as extreme the rear axle on our 2016 Ram DRE is about 8" further back than the one on our 2001 Ram 2500.
The longer the wheelbase the more stable the towing/hauling platform. No debate there.
Except it's not. It's an illusion.
3rd/4th/4.5th Gens are 42" axle to back of bed
Using that, to scale, from your drawing, 2nd Gen is "approx" 43-1/4"
Your newer truck has the axle about 1" closer to the back of an 8' bed than the old one.
