There are so many of these situations where the spec worshipers babble on without knowing what the specs they are quoting really mean or what they are based on. In the case I stated above, it's all marketing. There are variables in other specs too if you take the time to dig but, most won't. And all the while they are calling people ignorant when it is they who are in fact the ill informed ones.....
I have a question. Did anyone ask him straight up "Do the GVWR matter then? Would Ford say that they will both support the maximum weight rating for the higher vehicle?"
What was his answer?
An engineer can not answer that type of question. That kind of politics are for sales reps. Bottom line is it does not matter. If all parts are the same, it's the same truck. The sticker and GVWR on a 250 are completely meaningless...
