Ford F250 ? F350? Or GMC 3500?
I am looking at a Montana 3791RD and currently own a Ford F250 that pulls my Cougar 327RES fiver quite well. The Montana sounds like it may be considerably heavier. So my question..will my F250 be ...

I'm assuming that the pin weight advertised is for an empty unit?
If so I would bet that you will be looking at 4k lbs plus loaded pin weight just like our fiver is. Realistically, you are looking at a 350/3500 dually in order to stay within all of the truck's ratings. You will get all kinds of information that a 350/3500 SRW truck will be fine to pull that trailer but you will likely be over the truck's GVWR and possibly rear axle/tire ratings.
Personally I would never want to tow my fiver with a SRW truck but I prefer to stay within all of the truck's ratings.
In regards to brand, there is so much childish banter on here that I won't offer anything other than drive all 3 and pick which one you like best. Or more importantly, the one that your wife likes best! ;)
