Almost bought an F450. Inner payload monitor said NO

Drove a 19 KR F450 and Lariat F350 back to back. F450 was smoother and felt better over bumps. Almost bought last night but woke today and have different thoughts. At 4750lbs payload and a 4300 wet camper, that does not leave much room for people, dogs and trailer tongue weight.

I know people say the numbers are not real. Still I have a hard time knowingly going over GVWR. 700lbs of tongue weight from my toy trailer says a F350 with 5300lbs payload is the safer choice.

F450. The door placard does not tell the whole story.

F450 has bigger brakes rear end to say a few I'd get the 450
