As others have said the F250 trucks specs are the same as the F350 SRW trucks. The F350 SRW specs show a 7000 RAWR which include the higher rated rear spring pack/higher rated wheels and tires.
The F250 has 6100 RAWR.
The F350 DRW has those big 9600 RAWR and four tires for much more payload.
Most of the trucks are equipped with a diesel and a 2500 chaise. Why is that?
The 250/2500 is the biggest seller for the dealers as not everyone needs or wants a full one ton truck.
Are the brakes the same? Thank you
Yes on the F250/F350 SRW have the same brake specs according to Fords website spec sheets anyway.

Use this clicky for any actual differences in a 250 vs 350 you may be concerned with.
If you have any concern about legal weight issues contact your state size and weights folks (dot) and ask them.
Some of the opinions given about legal (code or civil) weights on a rv website are really amusing at times.
