Welcome, Robin and Brenda! The 3295RK is a great choice, at least for us. The truck you propose will do a fantastic job for you. It will have you smiling all the way up the mountains and all the way down. Be sure to get the Tow Command package that includes the builtin brake controller. It is one super sweet controller. I still can't believe how smooth it is.

Our 3295RK is loaded about as heavily as you can load one and still be within all the ratings. We first towed it with a '99 F350 V10 supercab shortbed 4x2 3.73 axle.. It did a very sweet job. Then we towed it with an '03 F350 Supercab Shortbed 3.73 axle, 4x4, 6.0L powerstroke diesel, torqueshift automatic and it did a super job. Smiles all the way. We now tow it with an '05 F250 Crew Cab Shortbed 3.73 axle, 6.0L PSD and torqueshift automatic. With the new frame, frontend, bigger brakes and springs, etc., this is one outstanding vehicle both for towing and for solo (great ride). All of ours are/were single rear wheel. The truck you propose will handle any Montana made. The 3295, by the way, has the second highest GVWR of any Montana, being 40 lbs less than the GVWR of the 3685FL front living room model.

I will have to add airbags to our F250 because we did not get the Camper Package that adds the additional leaf in the rear springs. The F350 tow package should have that already but the F250 tow package does not. You can identify this extra leaf because it is the top leaf and curves up on the ends, like it is upside down or something.
