Besides, the 2500 is brand new, and I'm absolutely sure you won't be trading it and others have successfully towed similar rigs and had good success.
Congrats on your decision for the Montana. Just be aware, you'll have some fixes and bloopers to look after. If you are capable of fixing things yourself, you're better off. Waiting on warranty repairs from a dealership can keep you on hold much longer than you want. Just expect some issues to arise.
My suggestion is, if you do not have the time, tools, space, or knowledge of how to fix a problem.... then take it to your dealer for warranty. If you know how to use a screw driver, you can fix cabinet doors youself.
Still... nice choice! And (once all the little bugs get worked out), you'll REALLY enjoy that camper!
Congrats!

Thanks guys. I understand the advantages of a 3500, but also the limitations of a slightly stiffer ride when not towing. I've been towing since I was 16 and have a class A license, so not new to me, but I appreciate the comments.
I am pretty handy and this will be our 5th RV, so minor repairs are not an issue for me.
Thanks again and I look forward to the advice and information that can be found here.
