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 ...

Trading for a SRW 350/3500 is pointless - you could make your 250/2500 the same truck for a lot less money. Might even be the same truck already. The gasser is really going to struggle and you can't fix that, though - I think it's dually time if you want to go that big.
Agree with ^.
17klbs is waaay more than you'll want to pull with the gasser. You'll be a road hazard up and down every hill.
1ton diesel, brand doesn't matter, at a minimum, but in reality you're squarely in dually territory without some upgrades to a srw truck.
Both my 6.2F250s with 3.73s didn't like more than 14klbs with no wind resistance (flatbed trailers) on the flats at low altitude from a HP standpoint. Add in large grades, Mountian altitude potentially and a huge frontal area for a nice sail effect and the gasser won't do it willingly.....or at all, for long.
