Better TC hauler- F350 or F450??
It seems logical the F450 would be better for hauling a heavy (5000 pound plus) TC than a similar equipped F350. After all, you have 19.5's, bigger rear axle (I think), and bigger brakes. What other...

I do/did own both and my commercial F350 seem to have stronger suspension than F450 flatbed I used to own.
Than F450 had long overhang, so technically I can put heavier camper on my F350 setup, than I could on F450.
Learn how those truck are build. The "door sticker" payload is legal/registration game having very loose connection with actual truck capabilities.
F450 generally start with heavy rear axle and high differential ratio, but that doesn't mean you can't find F350 with the same.
My camper wet is going over 5000 lb, and standard bed dually with 3.73 differential is on my TD list.
I don't plan heavy towing, so would be fine even with lower differential, but not available on duallies.
Would I not worry about resale value, I would build cab&chassis with long wheelbase.
