Anyone pulling a Montana 3120 with a SRW short bed?

We're considering a Montana 3120 and the numbers say it'll work with the truck: 2015 F350 PSD SRW short bed with 3500 lbs payload, 11500 lbs gvwr. How much tongue weight, 20%? Anyone doing it or is it made for a dually? This would be our first 5er.
Thanks

    Well 3,500# payload less you and DW, less hitch, and anything else carried in the TV, and a 3,080# pin at 23% based on a 14,000# GVW.
  • We pull a VL 320GK with our Chevy Duramax 3500 short bed. That’s about the same weight and size as your Montana. I use a SuperGlide hitch, and loaded weights are right at the rear axle capacity rating; I wish I had more margin there, but also don’t want a dually. We’ve pulled about 25kmiles over a couple years with this (and another 30+k with a similar previous 5er) and are very happy with it.
