Hi!
I am brand new here. Will be ordering an ATC very soon and still looking for the best (used) truck to put it on. For sure the truck will be a full-sized quad cab (RAM) or extended cab (FORD) and NOT a crew cab because I want a 6' bed and don't want an extended wheelbase. I love Toyota, but am not considering the Tundra. I also want a full-sized truck vs a Tacoma or similar.
Currently looking at a RAM Rebel (I figured the Rebel's off-road capacity and skid plates, etc., might be welcome features) however the photos seem to show that the lower corners of the tailgate and truck bed are rounded (??). I've never seen this on a truck before.
Does anyone have an ATC on a RAM with this type of rounded truck bed corners?
If going with the Ford option, I am concerned about the clam-shell style door for the rear seats bumping into the front corner of the camper when opening the truck door.
Does anyone with a Ford extended cab have this issue when opening the rear clam shell doors?
Thanks in advance for any insights. If there are other issues folks have run into with ATC/truck combos that didn't work well for whatever reason, I would sure love to hear about them prior to pulling the trigger on the truck.
Happy to be here and looking forward to gearing up & gettin' out there!
