Has anyone here ordered one of the new 2017 F-450's, and what will you be towing?

There really is no reason for Ford to hold the GVWR down to 14,000 lbs on the F450 pickup.
DOT-wise, there is no difference between a truck with 14,000 GVWR, versus a truck with 15,000 GVWR. It is when you cross the 15,000 lb mark, to 15,001 lbs or more, that there is a difference in registration, regarding the DOT. The next difference occurs at 18,001 lbs, and the next after that occurs at 26,001 lbs.
Ford should put some heavier duty rear springs in the F450 pickup and give it a 15,000 GVWR, which it rightly deserves.
