Given that the OP clearly stated he's looking at diesels, with due respect yours is an irrelevant post lacking accuracy. An identically equipped F350 SRW 6.7 does not have only "480 pounds" of capacity than an F250 6.7 it has more than 1,000 pounds. Go check the website. Hopefully you're not one of those 3/4 ton owners who think the door sticker doesn't matter.
I'm not sure where you get your information, but from the booklet available from your local dealer, highlighting what it probably the most common configuration (At least on the lots around me), and what the OP was looking at (crew cab, short bed):
F250, 10000GVWR 3450
F350, 10000GVWR 3240 Yup 210 pounds less
F350, 11500GVWR 3930 My calculator shows that as a mere 480 pounds
Yes, these payloads are for a stripped down model, but every option selected should subtract the same across the board. Not only can I read stickers, but I can also read published charts.
I can see why the booklet is confusing, as it makes no differentiation (typical for OEMs). . But reason the 10k F250 and 11,500 F350 srw have such a similar (500 lbs) listed payload is because the 3/4 ton has a gasser and the 1-ton a diesel.
With the same engine the two vehicles have c.300 lbs between them as regards curb weight so do the math.
