The F-450 is a F-350 but for a few modifications to increase its practical towing capacity, including lower rear end gears than are available with the F-250/350 models, and a different front end suspension.
The F-550 is where you go for greater payload capacity with its standard rims, tires, DRW, etc. and is a commercial base (chassis cab) for adding various commercial platforms.
In terms of payload the F-350 GAWR is 9750 lbs., for the F-450 it is 12,000 lbs. and for the F-550 it is up to 14,706 lbs.
For towing purposes the F-450 is a step above the F-250/350 trucks and then one should consider going to something like the Freightliner MR2.
