............Its interesting that the SRW 2WD, at least the 2008, has a greater load capacity than the 4WD. The 2WD F350 is 4,340 and the 4WD is 4,250. If you decide to go with the F250 it is a big jump down -- the 2WD is 3,240 and the 4WD is 2,950.

If the GVWR of the 2WD and 4WD trucks is the same and the 4WD weighs 300# more than the 2WD, then the payload of the 4WD HAS to be 300# less.
One of the reasons my truck is 2WD.
The 4WD would have been 400# heavier with a 2300# payload instead of 2700#. As I don't drive in snow or off road I didn't need the 4WD.
