Blondeegal,
Beware of anyone telling you a 3/4 ton will tow a Monty that comes off the line over 12K "just fine". They are ME and on a river in Egypt. I found myself well over GCVW limit without hardly any fluids in the RV. I blew well past the truck rear axle limit. I too towed my 14000 RV "just fine" through most eastern and western mountain passes. It came down to my "liability issue". If I so much as scratched another vehicle while overweight I knew something real bad could and probably would happen. I "finally" chose to get out from under my self imposed "dark cloud" and now have a F-350 DRW with a GCVW of 30k. Overkill, I guess but I sleep much better. I was one of the worst on this forum defending my 3/4 ton air bagged out overloaded F-250. It's GCVW limit was 23k and I suspect the 2500's are less. I feel better now.
Mike
