One place you are wrong is that the F350 Diesel SRW CC 4x4 has a GVWR of 11500. You can opt for a the 10,000 lb GVWR at no extra cost - the optional 10,000 lb GVWR package consists of a different door sticker. (some states have higher licensing fees for trucks with GVWR's over 10,000 lbs) You can buy the F350 SRW SB CC with a gas engine and get GVWR of 11000 lbs. (3960 lb Payload)
Looking at the Ford trailering guide (I have a copy from March, 2012) you can indeed get a GVWR of 11,500 with a CC and 18" tires and wheels. I don't have the GCWR exactly (last figure I have recorded says 23,500 for a SRW 3.55 F350 CC 4WD), but that GVWR makes all the difference in the world in the calculations. I don't know about the 3.55 gear ratio, however. Can you get a 3.73 in a SRW?
