F550 Chassis Super C power ratings
The new 6.7L diesel motor that Ford offers for the F250 - F550 has HP and torque ratings of 400hp and 800 ft lbs. The Four Winds brochure lists the motor as 300hp and 660 ft lbs, significantly lower. ...

Yes, that is the problem. Ford has lower output on the F-450 and F-550 cab and chassis engines, and also has a significantly higher rear axle ratio, so the engine is spinning faster for a given road speed.
But you should be able to tow a really large trailer with the F-550. It can be had in 17,500 and 19,000 GVWR last time I checked. Crewcab might not offer the highest GVWR though.
