We bought a Montana HC 375FL last year and were pulling it with a 2015 Silverado 2500 with airbags. I scaled the rig twice and both times I was overweight on payload and GCVW. I was under on axle weight a hundred pounds or so. This was with dry tanks and packed for a 3-4 day trip with nothing additional in the bed of the truck. For this reason we limited our trips to a 60-90 mile radius of our house. I bit the bullet and upgraded to a 3500 SRW about a week ago. In April I will see what the handling difference will be.
For my family's safety and those around me the cost to upgrade is cheaper than any type of accident/injury and also adds some peace of mind. The rig you are looking at weighs significantly more than ours but it comes down to your comfort level being overloaded.
I would say the unit you are considering requires a DRW.
