Compared to a Montana, yes the MS would be a step up. Insulation might be better if the MS has double pane windows and upgrades.

As far as your truck is concerned it is very doubtful you have enough truck. Dodge has the lowest tow ratings historically of the big 3. It is impossible to tell you what your capabilities are since you posted no info about the truck. You need to examine the documentation from the truck and make sure you have all the options on it identified before you can tell what the unit is rated for. Do not forget the rating was made with a 150 lb driver and half fuel only so options and load in the truck subtract from it's capacity.

The MS tends to be VERY nose heavy averaging about 4000 plus lbs depending on model. The trailers themselves are also heavy and not geared towards light duty trucks like yours.
