Friend has a F350 99 and a brand new Montana bunk house model... he loves it and is always proud of his ford but he is starting to wonder if he should upgrade to bigger truck. Yes he can pull it, it does seem to stop, but I bet there are times when the wind blows, large semi passes by, or when he has to make a quick manouvour where he starts to feel the large trailer pushing him around.
I read about 7% stiffer springs... Well to me that is alot 700 lbs on 10,000 lbs. Im sure a half ton pickup would tow any Montana out there, Wont stop, start, handle worth a dam but it will move it. Check the rating and buy what you need based off of those numbers, but dont forget you need fuel, water, sewage, firewood, kids, dogs, clothing, chairs, beer, tools, bedliner, kids friends, hitch ETC in those numbers.
