I just wish I had a reason to get either one! Would Love to own a 350 or 450, no way I can justify it, I got way more truck than I NEED now with the 250!!

In Ca. go with the lowest gvwr that will suit your needes. The state tags are based on year, cost and gvwr. Above 10,000 lbs. they start raping you.

Discussing how much better the 450 rides over the 350, how does everyone think the ride would compare between the 450 and the 350 with the max trailering package with the wide track axle and 4:30 gears? Just curious if the wide track front end gives them the better ride or if you have to go to the 450 with its new components to get the "better" ride.

I have nearly 3,000 miles on mine. I've enjoyed this truck better than any I've ever bought. Very quiet, tremendous power and rides very smooth for a high capacity pickup. Ford has underrated the GVWR of this truck by a bunch considering how beefed up the axles and steering components are.

I know that feeling brother. That urge keeps hitting me to run down to my dealer and pick up a new 350. But I don't even use my current truck enough to justify it anymore.

I say go with the 450.
