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...

If by "non-advertised GVWR" you mean the combined axle weight ratings, then you need to compare those between the trucks, along with the actual empty weights of the trucks to see which one has more "real" payload capacity.
Face it, when you're talking about 5000+lb campers, the GVWR goes right out the window. You're going to be over GVWR no matter what truck you get. It will be a matter of which truck has the better axle capacities vs. their empty weights.
BTW, the 6450lb payload for the F350 sounds like a gasser regular cab 2WD number. You might want to double-check that and make sure you're comparing apples to apples.
