We tow our Montana with a 3/4 ton 2005 F250. Pinweight on our Montana is 3300 and that caused the rear to squat a couple of inches. Many folks tow it that way just fine but I prefer my truck level so added airbags. Solved that problem. We previously towed the same Montana with a 2003 F350 1 ton single rear wheel. Unhitched that truck sat higher in the rear and hitched it was level without any help. Never a problem towing with either. In fact, this new 3/4 ton F250 has higher ratings than our 2003 1 ton F350 did, including GVWR, GAWR, and GCWR, by a considerable margin so we're actually towing with more truck with the new 3/4 ton than with the older 1 ton, if that makes any sense.
