Another towing question

Looking to buy Montana 3121RL this weekend. I have 2017 F250 Diesel 4X4 SRW with high capacity towing package. It is my understanding that I have more than enough capability to tow this fifth wheel. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

You have a pin weight of 2400. hitch 100 pounds. another 150 in front storage and basement. that takes you to over 2650 pounds. Now go look at your sticker inside your door of your truck and see what your carrying capacity is. and I am not brave enough to guess either yours or your wife's weight.

My recommendation is to hook your camper up and try it. Then Google tow ratings finally pass the sniff test. Before this is over you will think you need a Peterbuilt to pull your camper.
Popcorn anyone.
