From your other posts and your needs check this out. $39,999 for a 2017 F350 Crew Cab Long Bed GAS XLT. It should have well over 4000 lbs payload. It’s in Enumclaw, WA. Link below. https://www.fugateford.net/new-Enumc...8W3B65HEE57874

its a sweet deal indeed but any idea why its still sitting?

I would think because GAS F350s aren’t that popular. If you look at the bottom of the window sticker http://www.windowsticker.forddirect....OHLUgFIeASI%3D is was produced 8/8/17. So it’s been in the lot maybe 10 months. That’s not that long.
If you’re serious about buying a CCLB F350 gas that’s one I would look at this weekend. Call them first. It may not really exist.
The payload should be close to 4500 lbs. also it has derated GVWR of 11,300 lbs vs standard 11,500 lbs.

I took a look at the window sticker via the link provided. My theory is that the 275/65R18E tires are the fundamental problem:
1) A/S tires on a 4x4 truck, especially one with a locking rear diff?
2) Depending on the specs cited, these are the smallest OEM tires available (646 revs per mile). To many, I suspect the tires appear to be undersized, especially on the 4x4's jacked-up rear (check out the picture below)
3) Those A/S tires' "low" load rating (3,415 lbs. @ 80 psi) is the main (only?) reason why the GVWR is 11,300 lbs instead of 11,500 lbs.
A separate issue is that without running boards, it might be a long climb into the cab for some.
Ford's maximum GVWR spec for this truck configuration is 4240 lbs. Considering that this is most likely based on XL trim with no other options, I suspect this truck's "official" payload is in the 4,000 lb. range.
The silver lining may be that these "small" tires plus the 3.73 axle and the F350 transmission's slightly shorter sixth gear (compared to the F250 6.2 6R100) is not a bad overall drivetrain combination. And, with 2K to 4K lbs. of payload on board, it won't be ridin' quite so high.

Thank you Jim! appreciate the detailed answer as always. If I want to rectify the a/s tire situation I can just go ahead and swap them for a better sized A/T 18” ? or I will need to buy new wheels and tires? if so what is the optimum size for this 3.73 ratio?

its a heck of a deal if it’s still there. At that price I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s already sold. If you want it you better act fast. They just recently reduced the price $4000
If A/S tires bother you then you can swap them out for A/T’s on the same rims. I actually went the other way. My 4WD came with 18” Wrangler A/T tires and I swapped them for Michelin Defender AS tires. I don’t have snow in Florida and I wanted the smoothest ride on highways. In 4WD it tows my 14000lb 5th Wheel on damp grass pastures or packed dirt fine.
You can see the tire tracks left on this dirt drive when towing my 5th wheel in the picture below.
Here’s the trailer set up on the dirt with truck in front 18” wheels.
