A side from that I do like a short Bed also, I wish they made them in a dually cause that is what I would get. Before I realized the SRW did not have a high enough payload I was planning to get a sidewinder pin box to prevent any issues with tight turn backing. Having said that I am still thinking about a sidewinder even though I will have a long bed for two reasons, the pin box does not turn in the bed which means you can store things in the bed of the truck and if you have tonneau cover rails you will not hit the rails, the second reason is the 5th wheel tracks the tow vehicle better because the turning point is moved back 22”. They make a 20k version of the sidewinder which would be overkill for the 3121RL. Hope this helps and Good Luck!

I think if you look at the gross weights on models other than the Ford Platinum you will find the Platinum is the least capable to tow or carry cargo. It was wimped out at the factory for a softer ride as per my local Ford dealer. Also a couple of friends decided on the platinum (probably because it cost the most) and couldn’t even tow the trailers they already had!
