Shopping 342PHT - What truck?
I am attempting to shop the Mountaineer line, specifically the 342PHT to see if it is reasonable to upgrade in the next 1-2 years to a 5ver.
WHen it comes to the tow vehicle they will be one of the newer gen. of HD pickups from the big 3. I know they have increased capacities and ratings in the new Chevy/Ford lineups of 250/2500HD's. Is a 2500 going to have enough to tow a 342PHT. Anyone towing a similar sized Montana/Mountaineer with a 250/2500 series truck?
From my early shopping the new HD Chevy has the following capacities for a D/A model, 4x4 ext. cab 6.5 box:
Max trailer: 14,300
Max payload: 3,353
Max GCWR: 22,000
Ford with Navistar engine:
Max trailer: 15,900
Max GVWR: 23,000
Max payload ? ? ? I can't make out their lousy website for the 2008 as they have a jumbled mess of a chart.
