Last time I checked the F350 diesel was about 900 lbs heavier than the gasser, if i recall correctly, so that reduced the max payload by that amount. Does not work for us - as that *does* relate to carrying a pop up truck camper. Less max payload.
also we'll get the long bed, biggest cab F350 gasser, so 176" wheelbase. I'm no expert but that strikes me as plenty long, for safe driving.
Our 9.5' truck camper will overhang only 18" over the end of the bed. I think that should be more than fine. .
You still seem to ignore law of physics.
No matter the engine weigh difference, your limiting factor with TC is going to be rear axle rating.
Heavier engine on front can only help in handling, but will have no effect how much of TC you can safely load.
I'm not ignoring anything
but there are many variables.
I suggest you go to Ford.com and alternate between a gasser and diesel... and watch how the MAX PAYLOAD varies a lot.
That is all I am commenting on.
Max Payload is a real issue to watch... with a heavier, loaded Truck Tailer.
