I had an 11 F350 SRW with 3.73's. Was a great truck. Recently upgraded our camper to a 42' toy hauler. As a result, traded trucks for an 11 F450 with 4.30's. Having never owned a DRW, I was shocked how much better the f450 handles a trailer. Love the 4.30's except for when I look at the avg miles per gallon...yikes.
The newer 350-3500's would have done the same thing as the 450.
I just wish people would read what you said about being shocked at how much better it is to tow long and heavy with a dually.
I was in the market for an f350 but came across a deal I couldn't turn down on an f450.
