F450 vs F350
How bad is the ride on the unloaded 450 when compared to the 350? How is it with the 5th attached? Does the turning radius improvement make up for the comfort difference? We're about two years ...

I only occasionally drive my F450 with nothing loaded in the bed, and yes it’s a harsher ride than loaded. I don’t mind it, and neither does the boss. You can’t have the kind of weight hauling ability the F450 does and a Cadillac ride when it’s unloaded. With the camper loaded, it’s pretty nice.
As far as the tighter turning radius, I appreciate it every time I drive it. No kidding. That, and the better brakes, 19.5” tires, and the heavier axles are why I bought it. Ignore the GVWR, it artificially capped at 14K to keep it a class 3 truck so it won’t compete with the cab and chassis F450.
