I can personally tell you from experience that you will not notice a bit a difference in these two trucks. Owning a Ford dealership we are constantly switching out our two vehicle for our Cyclone 4100 GWR 18,000 lbs. The 450 did not tow better. The 350 did not get better gas mileage. 8.5 MPG and you didnt even know it was back there on both trucks until you needed to turn. Yes the 450 turned tighter but really when you have 40 feet of trailer behind you when are you going to turning that tight?
The tight turning of the 450 and 350 with HD Tow is a big help backing into tight spots. So, the larger the RV, the more the turning radius helps getting it into spots made for smaller trailers.
IMO if you need the extra turning radius to get into the spot your not going to be able to pull out of the spot. But yes I believe you do have a point for smaller spots
