Just curious why did you buy a 450? Are you planning on a MUCH LARGER RV?
The big question is "why not?"
When ordering, I priced up a 350 and a 450. When I added the options and packages I wanted to each truck, there was only about $3000.00 difference between the two. When you're looking at $67,000 msrp for a new truck, what's another $3000.00? For that additional money, I gained 2500# in 5th wheel / goose-neck towing capacity. And while I don't anticipate a bigger RV in my future, if I did want to go bigger, I don't have to lose my butt on the truck trading it in for something to tow a bigger trailer. I know what I have will tow anything I would ever need it to tow.
Throw in that I defy any 350 truck to ride better, turn shorter or out-perform this truck, and there's just no reason to not go with the 450.
