We have the Cardinal FL3800 front living room and love it. The selling point for us over the Montana was the size of the under floor storage. Much larger on the Cardinal. The Cardinal is 43FT long not the 39.7 listed. This unit is heavy and a F250 will not be enough truck. We had a 2010 F350 DRW that was right at the limit of 16K. The truck handled it ok but was just too close for our comfort. We traded for a 2013 F350 DRW that is rated at 22,500K. Handles the trailer much better. The pin weight on ours is just shy of 3300 pounds actual weight and that is with 1/4 tank of water and no fluids in the holding tanks. I don't think you will be very happy towing this unit with a F250 or even a F350 SRW. Just my thoughts, take it for what it's worth.
Also too much tail for the dog!
