250 vs 350 differences?
ive read quite a few posts here, and with the 2017 and newer seems like the only difference between the two models is the badge, weight limits , and extra leaf spring . Can anyone confirm my observations or add to this?What package does the sway bar come with on each model? Thanks

I am going to add in rate of taxation. I don't know how or if it applies where you are but it can be a factor. Where I am there is luxury tax on 250's but not on a 350's as a result not to many new 250's on the lot. That and the fact my payload can be fairly high meant I didn't spend a lot of time researching 250's

The rear sway bar comes with the Camper Package. On my F-350 that forced the 18" tires and I believe it allowed or forced the 3.55 axle ratio. I was try to get the 3.55 axle ratio and I had no objection the Camper Package to get there because I also wanted the rear sway bar.

- The 250 gets the 6R100 automatic transmission, three-leaf rear spring packs, and a 650 CCA (Group 72) battery
- The 350 gets the 6R140 automatic transmission, four-leaf rear spring packs, and a 750 CCA (Group 75) battery
The optional Camper- and Snowplow/Camper Packages add the rear sway bar to the single rear wheel trucks, but these options are not available on the certain trucks with 20" wheels and/or higher trim levels. And, regardless of option selections, the four-leaf rear spring packs are the limit on a 250, and five-leaf packs are the limit on the 350 SRW.
