I just went through the same agonizing situation. New Montana HC 318RE with a much heavier pin weight thanm my Cougar XLite. We pulled the Cougar all through the US last summer with a 2012 RAM 2500 with a Payload sticker of 2,070# I was probably marginal with that. The new 5ver would put me way over the sticker. As a result of lots of Forum threads read and posted to, I ordered a RAM 3500 Single Rear Wheel CTD. Now the only thing I will worry about is finding a hitch for the factory in bed 5th wheel prep.
Safety is a big concern and the SRW should give me about the same ride as the 2500.
Interesting the 2014 Montana HC 318RE is lighter than our 05 Copper Canyon, and we do just fine with a 14 year old 2500, and stock suspension.

Safety i think about it also, and feel 100% solid on main state highways like this at 55 and 60 mph.
