I sure hope I did the right thing! (Update)
Well, over the weekend the DW and I pulled the trigger on a (new to us) 2012 Ford Certified F-250 CC 4x4 with the 6.2 gas. Traded in my 05 model with the 6.0 PSD. The reasons were just to obvious to i...

With your reasoning lower torque must be better because a F450 truck has a higher tow rating with less torque than a F350 with the same engine.
Again, tow ratings by the manufacturers involve engines but also rear end ratios, transmissions, and diesel engine duty cycles. Maybe the F 450 is derated some for the duty cycle. I'll bet it is. Maybe you should study up on tow ratings and the variables that go into determining them. Duty cycles on an MDT truck (F 450) are likely not the same as the F 350 even if both have the diesel engine, hence the lower torque values for longer duty cycles. It only makes sense.
