Geez this thing is getting really out there! Anyway, while I totally agree with "there's no such thing as too much truck", there's also the issue of how do you get around once camped? Anyone who thinks too much truck will shake up a 5er's insides doesn't realize that spring & shock rates can be set up so that won't happen. Our F350 has air bags that I could put 60 lbs into and, yes, the front end of our Montana would suffer greatly even with the Mor/Ryde pin box. As heavy loaded as I've gotten the trailer, I've never put more then 40 lbs in the bags.
Our truck is a crew cab, long bed, dually and I'm willing to sacrifice not being able to get into really, really tight streets for the way it tows our Monty down the road. I'm certain those with bigger trucks feel the same way, but I can get into places they can't.
If you want to tow the smallest Montana they make with a 3/4 ton truck, you'll probably be OK. Otherwise, I'd think bigger.
