Why are you looking at an f250 rather than a f350 srw? They are almost identical in everyway including price....the difference is the f350 has overload springs and can carry twice the hitch weight of an f250.
Not sure what you mean by those. The F250 has 210 pound MORE payload than the F350 SRW for any given configuration at both the 9900 and 10000 weight ratings (the 350 is a heavier truck).

The receiver on my F250 is rated at 21000 trailer weight, 2100 tongue weight (both carrying and distributed, which fly's in the face of everything I have seen before in hitches), same as any F350 SRW configuration.
