If you had selected a F-350 SRW, it would have about the same tires and axle ratings. However the GVWR is 1,500 pounds higher on the F-350 SRW than the F-250 SRW. Simply put, you have the wrong truck for a 1 ton load, such as a fifth wheel, and be able to carry passengers as well.
Regarding the "wrong truck", you may be right, however...
In talking with my mechanic just this morning, he was putting on new rear brakes, he has the same truck, year, etc but his is the SRW 350. He said the only real difference in the 250 and 350 (srw) is the 350 has slightly larger brakes and one more rear spring. So with that, it would seem adding that spring pack would get me right back into the right territory.
His feeling was going airbags.
Wouldn't that then make this the "right truck" for a good size 5th?
