What would you do?
Well, I have a dilemma on my hands. After buying a 2017 XD Titan last year only to find out I severely underestimated my research as to actual payload capacity of the truck. I decided I’d do even more...

The problem with putting a short bed camper on a long bed truck is that you might be shifting the camper's center of gravity back too far. The camper's center of gravity MUST be forward of - or at worst, directly above - the truck's rear axle.
If it falls BEHIND the rear axle, the rear axle acts like the center of one of those playground teeter-totters and actually takes weight OFF the front axle, which can cause steering and handling safety issues.
See This:
The CG isnt any further rearward than it already is in the shortbed, with respect to the rear axle.
