Would have liked a F450 but there are none for sale anywhere that I can find and cannot order a 15 so either get a 350 or wait a few months or more to order a 16
I wouldn't stress too much about F350 vs F450. The F350 DRW 4x4 with the payload package has the same GVWR as the 450, and for some strange reason the RGAWR is 550 pounds higher on the 350. According to Ford's
website brakes are the same size across all Super Duty pickups. The F450 does have a wider track front end and the 19.5" commercial tires and wheels and a considerably higher GCWR. I'm guessing the derated GVWR on the 450 has something to do Ford wanting it to still be considered light duty instead of medium duty in the DOT truck classifications.
