A person who bought a Ram mega cab in Texas may have occasionally considered getting it converted to a long bed, but may not be sure of all the advantages. People generally decide to have a Ram mega cab in Texas converted to a long bed because it’s better for hauling long materials such as lumber and siding. It’s also more functional for hauling a large number of things such as pieces of firewood and bales of hay or straw. However, there are other satisfying aspects to the long bed. Since this is a relatively pricey modification, it’s wise to consider all the benefits of having this project done.
Pickup truck drivers tend to say that the long-bed models have easier handling, at least once the driver is used to the extra length. In addition, the ride tends to be smoother, and long beds get thumbs up for towing.
Another advantage of converting a Ram mega cab in Texas to a long bed is it increases the resale value. That should help the owner recoup some of the cost of having the conversion done if he or she eventually decides to sell the vehicle.
Many people believe the long-bed models are more attractive. They feel that the short-bed versions look somewhat boxy. When the truck bed is about as long as the cab, it can look somewhat like two similar-sized rectangles attached to one another.
There also are certain points to consider that someone might see as a disadvantage. If the truck will be housed in a garage at home, for instance, the garage has to be long enough to accommodate this vehicle with both the extended cab and the long bed. Another consideration is that parking is easier with a short-bed model, especially on the street where spaces are defined as to length and may be scarce. In parking lots, the driver usually has the option of parking across two spaces if necessary, although it’s considerate to do this far from the building so as not to inconvenience other people.
A Ram mega cab owner should give careful thought to all these aspects before deciding to have conversion done by a company such as Precision Bodyline. If the work will significantly increase owner satisfaction and vehicle functionality, then it’s time to get further details.
