MDSHOPE, you have gotten some good info here, and maybe a little baloney thrown in. There are always a number of 3/4 ton truck owners who think their "beast" will pull whatever a salesman throws at them. Your 250 is NOT a proper vehicle to pull that Montana. I believe the pin weight empty is about 2700 pounds; probably in the neighborhood of 3400 pounds when loaded for travel. When you add a hitch, fuel, you and passengers, and a few tools in your truck and you will be pushing the weight into DRW territory, 350/3500 SRW at a bare minimum. Do yourself (and us) a favor and tell us what the cargo capacity is as listed on the truck door pillar.
Also keep in mind that I listed your pin weight WITHOUT any water in the holding tank.
