Differences between Ford SD F350 and F450?
I’ve been comparing the F350 to the F450. According to Ford’s “build your super duty”, a CC, 8’, DRW, 4WD F450 is about $3500 list more expensive than a like model F350. The F350 has a payload rating ...

Actually the '15 F-450 is a better hauler than an F-350 DRW. It has bigger brakes, 19.5s, bigger rear axle, bigger sway bars, and steering upgrades. Just because the sticker on the door says it can carry less doesn't make it a less capable tool. The '15 F-450 has a 14k GVWR, but it is almost the same truck as the 08-10s and they were 14.5. Wouldn't surprise me if the '16s are 14.5k or more. I believe the only reason the '15 is 14k is to keep it a class 3 truck for registration and insurance purposes, not unlike the 9900 GVWR SRW F-350.
Also the wide track front axle and 4.30 gears are now available on the F-350 with the high capacity towing package. (Basically like the 11-14 F-450s)
Most truck campers exceed their GVWR anyway. Looking at the printed payload isn't necessarily the best meter.
