Hi,
For what it's worth, I thought I would post this from an old post of mine. I got the camper certification for the F-350 DRW we just got, and the maximum allowable weight is 3,727 pounds (payload) and the maximum gross vehicle weight is 13,300. Truck is about 9,000 pounds. After gear and hitch, and depending on what percentage you estimate for pin weight, even with a DRW diesel (3.73 gears), I am right near the maximum for towing a 15,500 pound Montana (figuring pin weight at twenty percent of 15,500 would be 3,100 pounds so it's within capacity but not by much.) The stated brochure weights for the trailer pin weights are usually low, so actual weights are what you need to try to get. Bottom line, even with a 350 dually diesel I just feel comfortable towing this weight range of Montanas and would be very concerned with a 250/2500 unless properly upgraded.
