We had several GM 3500HDs and never had a problem with HP or Torq or stopping the load. However most all were over the Gross tow rating but never over pin weight. Haven't owned a Montana per say but did own a Cambridge which was much heavier that any Montana.. Actual weight of Cambridge was 17,040 and GM 3500HD was 8,560 for a total of 25,600 lbs we were full timing at the time. We did have Disk Brakes on the Cambridge. That being say if you stay within the numbers you will need to watch what you travel with. You really don't need a lot of things that people haul around. Its a choice you will have to make. All of our GM 3500HDs have had DRWs. GBY.....

P.S. Don't think you can have to much Truck but you can have to much 5th wheel.
