The power numbers are larger in the light-duty pickup for two reasons, according to Chris Brewer, Super Duty chief engineer. "The main reason is that when the truck goes over 8,500 pounds [gross vehicle weight rating], the SAE [horsepower and torque] rating method changes," Brewer said. "We can't get the same horsepower and torque out of it [like we can in the F-150].” The 6.2-liter V-8 in the Super Duty also uses a different camshaft from the light-duty version, which, some may recall, is the same approach Ford uses to make 500 hp in the FR Raptor XT version of the 6.2-liter V-8.

LS2 already pointed out the cam differences. I wanted to add that according to a Pickuptrucks.com article the chief engineer attributes most of the difference to rating differences in the over 8500GVWR class. Reminds me of Chevy rating their 6.0L lower in the 3500 than in the 1500.

To clarify that further, the engine is the SAME whether under or over 10,000GVW, only the power levels are read at different RPM levels; 4179 RPM for over 10,000GVW, and the actual peak power level RPMs for under 10,000GVW; the difference being, noise regulations are different for the different GVW levels. You get the same engine either way; they are only measured differently.
