Towing questions

New Member, Doug here. Need some advise on the tow truck and the weight thing before we pick our rig. We are looking at the Montana 3295RK and the 3575RL. Reading here about the weight of the loaded rig, it should be about 12,500 on the 3295 and maybe 13,000 on the 3575. Put in some extras (which we don't quite know yet) and we are right at that weight that is approaching too much for a standard 3/4 ton. Is there somewhere to see just what the pure maximum that some of these trucks will actually handle. I would be talking the diesel engine but then there is extras that can be added to increase the power of these rigs. Do I need a larger truck or will a 3/4 ton work with a larger engine? I would imagine that this has been asked here before but I havn't seen it yet. Your ideas on this would be appreciated. Doug
