Welcome to FTE!
Build wise they are primarily the same except for rated GVWR which comes from a change in spring codes and a 1" taller block on the F-350.

Not legally, you don't.
That sticker on the door post alone determines what you can haul, not the truck's actual performance. If you are pulling that car trailer commercially, they are NOT the same, no matter what you've done to change the F-250.
A reason for the price disparity may be that a lot of the 350's are duallys, and not everybody wants that.

So the bags don't help make you leagal when carring extra weight but geting a 250 and saving some coin over a 350, as long as you don't use it commercaly, I would think would be a cheaper way to go. The OP didn't say how many cars he wants to hall at once so a 250 will do the job. Air bags help with many things, ride comfert, help with the extra weight, and yes can level out a load thats more then likely already over loaded.

No, but a dually experiences far less sway issues. Tire pressure is also a hugh influence with sway.
I believe you have more control of the load whether hauling or pulling with a F350. That is my reason for owning one.
Getting the best engine was just a fluke of fortune.

I've got a 350 that's a supercab/shortbed. Like Clay said, there isn't much difference between the two trucks. But if you get a 350, you'll need inspection papers, triangles, fire extinguisher, if it's for hire you'll need DOT numbers. A 250 will get you around all that.
If you need help, let me know!
