Will your truck pull the 3295? Most likely, yes, but our 03 3295 is pushing close to 11k, from memory I believe it is 10,700, which leaves little room for "extras." Personally, I would not feel safe with such a situation, especially if I was going anywhere close to steep grades. You probably also need to look at the payload capacity in the bed. The 3295 is one of the heavier hitch weights that Montana makes. On our higher rated 2005 F-250, it does squat the truck a couple of inches, and I am considering having air bags installed.

I will say that $25k for the 3295 is a very nice price, better even than the one we found back in March, but I definitely am glad that I have the diesel to help with the load.
