Others have pointed out (most of) the specific differences in the chassis better than I can. There are many things that go into meeting a weight rating, so I tend to think of it mainly as just a difference at that level and trust that Ford has done the engineering of all the chassis systems properly to ensure that it is capable of safely and reliably carrying the rated weight--which seems to be true.
I would like to note that the modular engines (the V8 and the V10 that have been used since the late '90s) have had occasional improvements and updates. The current V8 is pretty nearly on par with the V10 in my '98 motorhome, and I think it has adequate power. That's not to say that additional power would be at all useless, of course; but it manages as it is to go along the road just fine and is quicker than many tractor trailers.
