Rock hill manor, Methinks you are confused about the E-350/450’s. The 350 has a superior ride as in smoother vs the stiff ride of the 450. It also has more power as the engine/trans are the same but the 450 is packing an addition 2,000 pounds everywhere it goes.
The 450 gets worse mileage with its 4:56 rear end vs the 350’s 4:10. The 450 is a great chassis but on any Class C 25’ or under it is overkill at the expense of comfort and economy. If you are going to tow heavy they are worth a look but have less available power due to the extra weight.
Also as noted E-350’s often come with the 55 gallon fuel tank. Mine does and after 5+ years and 52k+ miles I could not be more pleased with the ride and performance of my
E-350.
