The 350 just benefits from having the same motor and trans with a lot less work for it to do.
Hmmm .... :h
For instance with respect to my Class C weighing in at say 11,800 lbs. (or any given weight) -> how can an E350 chassis under it have to do less work carrying it around than an E450 chassis under it would?
Looking at it from another perspective - with whatever heavier duty differences the E450 chassis may possess over the E350 chassis - wouldn't the E450 chassis meet the challenges placed on it better than the E350 chassis would?
The E350/E450 differences appear to be less now than they were back when we bought our 2005. My 2005 detailed E450 specs are no longer commonly available on the Internet, but the earliest now available with some key clicks - for years 2014 on up - can be used here to compare the E350 cutaway chassis to the E450 cutaway chassis by clicking on "VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS": https://fordbbas.com/publications
