I am curious. Just wondering.
Why order an F350 with the 4.30 rear end and the wide front end? Wouldn't it be easier and quicker to just go find an F450 you like?
I'm anxious for an answer since I apparently did that.
350 is easier to insure and finance plus extra payload capacity if payload is the priority.
The payload is the interesting Question on the 450 was it simply underrated to hit the 14k class 3 weight rating particularly on the 2015+ where the axle and tires/wheels are much larger than the 350? Is the spring pack the limiter? Marketing to beat out Ram in the Class 3 war? Only Ford knows.
I'd buy the 450 again. I wanted 19.5s, wide track and the 4.3. I basically paid the price of a F-350 with Ricksons.
