Yeah, I need to add a signature. 2017 F350 6.2, CC LB DRW, 14000# GVWR, 3.73 rear end. The guy's comment comparing his Dodge offending me. lol. Just kidding, but when I was looking at SD's before buying, you could easily find SRW F350's with the higher GVWR package carrying more than what was claimed. I guess another factor to consider is I don't have all that extra weight of the diesel either.

Specifically SRW. Looked at 2 more today, 3428 and 3407. Just had to check my Ram again. I was wrong. It's actually 3880. That's a loss of 12%, and I'm just trying to understand why the payload ratings are like that. If I'm going to buy a Ford, that's something I have to take into consideration. Sure, it's just a legal number, but I'd like to know where the real difference lies. What I'm now discovering is that it looks like the GVWR of the F-350 vs. my 3500, is different. Max GVWR of the F-350 4x4 is 11,500, while my truck is 12,300. Looks like the F-350 might be about 400lb lighter than my Ram.

The 450 has the wide track and the 350 doesn't. Seems incompatible to me. But I have zero experience doing brakes on a Superduty. It's my first one. I bet Tyler (troverman) knows the answer to this.

If it's something that may end up happening, send me a PM well ahead of time and I'd be happy to go into more detail privately. We'd also be happy to share ideas on good camping spots, fishing, canoeing, etc, for this area, or even meet one of the sweet spots.
