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...

One more perspective. The F350 can be obtained with the 6.2 L gas engine version which has a much higher payload than the F450 (payload goes up by >1,000 lb's). The gas engine is easily capable of hauling the camper at what every speed you want up any of the mountain passes. (Personal experience hauling an AF1150 over Bear Tooth and up and down the Big Horns among others). If you want to also pull a heavy trailer that may be another story.
I would finally add that although both 350 and 450 have the same 14,000 GVWR the 450 does come with some heavier components (axel, brakes). The other thing to note is that the 350 can no longer be ordered with the wide front track. This means if you want the shorter turning radius you will need to get a F450.
