look inside the drivers door, sticker should be there.
As to your max weight on the Montana, yes that appears correct.
As to payload, The pin weight on that unit looks to be around 2200 add for batteries and all that you load and it will likely go above 3000, adding yourself into the truck is going to most likely put you over.
