We are looking to purchase a Montana High Country 370BR, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to meeting members on the road very soon.

I have a 2017 370BR. You will be over payload on any 250/2500 diesel and a gasser will not work with this weight non any hill, forget mountain. I had a 2016 F250 and traded on the 2016 F350 for this 5er. On delivery the 370BR was 360# heavier than stated dry weight. The published hitch weight is also a little low. There is a lot of storage space in the entire 5er and especially the basement. Add the separate washer/dryer and a 2nd battery and PW will laugh at any 3/4. Just the 2 of us so we will never use all the cargo capacity (even with my wife's cast iron cook ware) but if done you are not far from dually territory.
