Short Bed trucks with sliders work just fine. I like the way short beds look . I have a fifth wheel and know that you have to be careful. A buddy of mine has a long bed 2 whl drive and blew out his window dented the side of the cab in a sharp U turn so the longbeds are not immune to it either. It just happens less often. More people with 5th wheels probably hit low branches and bridges then anything else. If Ram produced a manual with every potential thing a customer may do wrong it would take a long bed just to haul it around. LOL.
