I found that my trailer loaded @ almost 17k pushed the short bed through the corners. I think the OP's dually will help a whole lot but the weight transfer to the front wheels caused by the short bed is also a factor I didn't like.

Hi Dave,
With the Mega Cab, the box is 6'4", but because the cab is so large, the wheelbase is the same as a Crew Cab with a 8' box. Do you think that would make a difference in the corners. Since I've never driven a 5th wheel, I'm not sure if I understand what you mean when you say the trailer pushed through the corners. But I'm guessing you're saying that feeling would be mitigated a bit if the bed were a little longer. Does it feel like the trailer's inertia is actually pushing the truck a little to the outside on tight corners?
I'm particularly worried about clearance with the cap when backing into tight spaces. Should I be worried about that, or would a slider hitch eliminate my concerns there?
Thanks again.
