Carry the genset in the truck or in the front compartment that was design for that weight.
Staying with in the design limits of the rear hitch when is the last time any one heard of a hitch failing on the back of a Montana. It`s the people that bolt a hitch receiver to a bumper that have problems. Put your generator back there and go have fun.
