Really depends on what you are towing. The early Montanas had a square front making them a little more difficult to manuever with a short bed truck. The later models have the radial front caps which give more room for turning. I towed my '06 3400 with a short bed 3/4 Chevy with a slider hitch (never used it) when I first started RVing. As we got heavier we decided to do the dually thing. My feeling is that IF you are careful you won't need a slider. There is also a hitch called a Pullright(sp) that automatically slides when you exceed a certain degree of turn. Many folks have these and really like them. The key is to take the unit to a large parking lot and bend her around to see how much clearance you have. Do be careful doing this though.
