What is F450 crew cab Payload
I am on the hunt for my next RV hauler. Both truck campers and 5th wheels. What are you seeing for payload numbers on full feature F450's?

Haven’t seen a truck camper yet that would be overkill for any of the F450 pickup variants.
Yes they’re sprung softer than the c/c trucks and may not have as heavy rear axle components. Ford has chenged up their axle offerings a couple times but they’re all 11klb or more rated axles. Although I’d take a Dana S110 or 130 over a corporate axle if given the choice. The m300 or whatever it’s called is just fine, just the big Danas are mo betta.
Other stuff, bigger brakes on a c/c truck, not a factor with TCs even towing moderate. The big brakes are for the trucks with 30k + tow rating.
Frame? I’d take a new style Ford boxed pickup frame without issue In lieu of a straight rail. It’ll hold up fine and pretty stiff.
And if you want a pickup bed that matches the truck cc is not an option unless you have some good fabrication skills.
