I am searching much wider and finding a few deals on F350's that would bring the gap in price more like 10k. ARGG. I really want the tighter turning of the F450. Might just have to get over the price gap.
You would gain more than just turning radius with the 450. Breaking power and stability are just as big of factors. Plus a good safety margin for tire load rating with the 19.5's
That being said, cost of replacement of components are going to be slightly higher as well, brakes and tires mainly. And insurance.
Make sure you take both for a good drive, unladen ride is going to be more "firm" on the 450. Gotta weigh the good and the bad.
What camper are you planning on putting in the back? That might be a good deciding factor as well.
