Re: Ford F250 ? F350? Or GMC 3500?
Only True Mosnowman wrote: 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 big enough to tow it? If not I am assuming the F350 or GMC 3500 will be? Which of these two vehicles would you buy? The weight numbers conversation sounds like a foreign language to me so any expert help would be appreciated. Thanks! Montana 3791RD Specifications Shipping Weight 13470 Carrying Capacity 3475 Hitch 2945 Length* 41' 1" Height 13' 5" Tire Size ST235/80R16E If your F250 is a turbo diesel you will have no problem pulling the bigger rig, but if yours is gas, there might be some problems on hills. I have a 1999 F250 super duty 7.3 turbo diesel, it pull my 38' rig with no problems.

Re: 2017 Super Duty is *****
We own a 1999 Ford 250 super duty Turbo 7.3, and I pull our 2016 Dutchman Denali RKL 335 37.8 ft 5r, with no problems.. The 7.3 is a fantastic engine ,I guess it was made for towing and pulling tree stumps out of the ground.

Some of the passes that you will go over are pretty high and you will want the turbo in order to maintain any power. Summer time in the mountains with warm to hot weather a non turbo engine will loose power due to altitude density. Steve you're right about the Diesel. I have a 1999 F250 Turbo diesel 7.3. great truck pulls my Dutchman denali with no problem.
