Here’s my speculation:
In a high level meeting of Ford executives, probably in 2009 or so, the executive responsible for the medium duty truck line (who’s annual bonus is directly tied to the # of units sold) went nose to nose with the executive responsible for the light truck line (whose annual bonus is directly tied to the number of units sold), and screamed in his/her face “WTH are you doing to me! Your F450 pickup is stealing sales from my F450 cab and chassis trucks! My bonus just got cut again, and I’ve got mansion payments, boat payments, condo payments, college tuition, and hair salon payments to make!”
After the 2010 model year, the F450 pickup never again had a GVWR higher than 14K.
THAT’S why it’s 14K.

I agree with your premises with one exception....
...you forgot "mistress payments."
LOL.
