The CC usually have some heavier duty components plus the narrow rear frame which is the industry standard for after market bodies .

I actually don't care about my mpg if I'm having fun :D.
Best comment ever on Rv.net. :B
I actually was checking out mpg between the F350 and F150 before I bought my F350 but really there is not that much difference for the payload you get with the F350. I'm looking at pop up TC's too and plan on traveling a lot when I retire. Probably be living in the TC nine months out of the year. Will be driving and putting on the miles. F350 is a no brainer for me. Thinking about a flatbed with storage boxes so I will need more payload for those even with a light weight pop up. :D
