Well, I’m going run it for now and if I find it bad I will get a new 1 ton Chevy short box which gives you the 6’8” box as opposed to 6’4”

You would gain about 5” of camper cog moving forward but it literally won’t matter, as your camper will still be 98-100% riding over the rear axle but the rear xtra wheelbase length of the Mega will partially counteract that as is and you have no issue now with too much weight unloading on the front axle. With no other discern-able advantages for your hauling purposes other than having a fresh new truck that is more refined.
And you won’t have 6klbs payload or anywhere near that (by the sticker or real world) with any OE srw truck, even if it was a stripped down single cab gasser.
Keep that in mind before spending $100k cdn plus fitting up another truck.
