Keep in mind that models like Montana, Alpine, etc. are an entirely different animal and price point. These upper level trailers have 12" drop frames and are considered full profile fifth wheels. They are generally built better, have heavier frames and suspension. The higher the gvwr of the model, the better the trailer and more truck is required to handle it.
My next rig will certainly have a 12" frame and 7k axles, G rated tires, etc. The foundation is what is important.
