Hello
I currently tow a 2009 Montana 3150 with a 2009 F350. I will be picking up my 2017 F350 in the next couple of days since it has been built and shipped. Like so many I have noticed the bed height of the 2017 are higher. I measured, checked, compared the trucks side by side and it looks like the 2017 are at least 1" to 2" higher than everything older. Everything on the 2017 seems bigger, compared to my 2009 the dimensions are over all length 246.2 to 250, Inside box 20.1 to 21.1, open tailgate to ground 35.1-37.3 to 38", top rail 58" to 59" or more.
After looking at everything I decided to go for it and ordered a new truck, its kind of odd but some 2017 F350 seem higher than others most were around the 58" but some 60" I guess it was what options were on it. In addition after a lot of thought I purchased a B&W Companion BRWK3300 it has the factory puck system of mounting.
Now I'm just waiting to see how it all matches up, there wasn't a lot of clearance with the 2009 truck but I figured raising the hitch to the middle height of 17 3/4 plus would probably work.
What has been the experience of other Montana owners? Does the 2017 F350 work with out modifications? I'd be really interested in what other have found.
