Some suggestions:

-Ignore the "tow ratings," as stated earlier, any diesel will tow any Montana.
-Ignore anything you read on the internet regarding cargo capacity, etc. The manufacturers 'best case' those numbers...like using gas trucks for cargo capacity ratings because they do not have the heavy diesel engine...which detracts from the cargo capacity.
-Ignore any "dry weight" unless you are going to use your RV loaded as it came from the dealer...totally empty.
-Add at least 500# to the empty pin weight for a realistic PW.

The actual tow capacity is the GCWR minus the TV weight when ready to tow.
