The Montana fifthwheel has a GVWR of 16,000#. I know for a fact it will never weigh that much. I never carry water and we only go camping for a week at a time. I would estimate the trailer would weigh in between 13,000 and 13,500 at most and even that is estimating high.
The number one thing I am looking for is reliability. I don't want to be on vacation thinking about when is my truck gonna breakdown like I did with the 6.0 psd. I think the big 3 have the engines pretty much figured out but the emissions is the add on that ruins them. If your truck goes into limp mode due to a emissions related issue, will it have enough power to get you and your trailer off the road?
