Montana Owners Club - Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Forum - View Single Post - New to 5th Wheeling-Looking to buy a truck

We recently bought a used 2008 Montana 2955RL 5th wheel. I work out of state and I am living in the unit for the next 18 months. At the end of 2011, me and my wife will be taking early retirement and traveling the country with our 5th wheel. We will be on the road ~ 9 months a year. I now need to purchase a truck to haul the 5th wheel. I have two options, buy a used truck 1-3 years old, or buy new. I want to learn as much as I can, about what I should buy, for both options (new or used). What are the best resources for educating myself? Being an Engineer, I'm hoping to find facts, rather than opinions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to call my cell if you have time to discuss and don't like to type.
Thanks
Walt
