Don't think he was carping, more concern which is a good thing for us to have for eachother. Sure that the OP checked into weight and so forth before buying. Sounds to me like a great combo and lots of fun to be had in the future for both of them! I think he's slightly (cough!) exaggerating about his DGF's dismay...who could be upset over getting a brand new fiver???

I don't blame her for being angry! For what you spent on the truck and trailer, you could have had a nice wedding, and a honeymoon in Tahiti, then came home and bought a 5 year old truck and trailer, and possibly had money left!
sheesh, man, WHERE are your PRIORITIES??

I am sure you will both enjoy the truck and Montana. I guess the only thing worse than bashin a guys purchase is throwing falsehoods out there - the 3000RK is the 2nd heaviest pin weight of all 10 Montana models, with a pin weight 500 lbs heavier than the comparable 2955RL model with similar dry weight and length.
Still nice units though - congratulations on your purchase, sorry about the girl . You gonna miss her?

I did not say anything about pin weight . At 14,220 GVWR ony the 2955 and the 3150 are lighter. He does not give the complete configuraton of the truck./ But any of the configurations have a payload cap of over 3K. What is your problem Brad...?????
