You're right, Steve. Dodge is the only truck available with dual rear wheels and a short box. In fact, Ford offers their "hitch preparation package" in the single rear wheel short box version, but when you go to the accessories section to order the hitch, it recommends NOT using the hitch with the short box. I suppose they install the hitch rails so you can use a gooseneck platform. The Ford fifth wheel hitch will fit, will function, but they recommend against it for some reason. At any rate, the only dually available in short bed is from Ram.
EDIT: OOPS! I just rechecked the description on the gooseneck hitch kit and it also has the comment, " To be used with 8' beds only". I don't know why Ford sells the bed rails as an option on the 6.5' bed and then says you can't use the hitch with the rails??? Hmmmmm
