2020 decision

Hi, New around here, looking to purchase a dually to pull a 5th wheel, GVW on the trailer is 14k. I was looking at an XLT and with the options I want the price is going to be a little high so I redid everything as an XL and added back options I want, seems like the only thing that I can't get that I wanted was the center console and the power extending mirrors. Now that I have this configured as a 350 I did it again as a 450 and the price was pretty close (around 1k with the 450 being cheaper) I have read the 450 has a much better turning radius but rides worse because of the tires. Am I crazy to be considering a 450?

Go the 450 and don't look back. The turning radius alone is worth the entry. I have a 350 dually with aftermarket Rancho shocks and have ordered the 450 for 2020. I test drove one and my wife and I could not tell any meaningful difference in ride and she tends to be picky about that, and this particular one even had the heavy duty service front springs.

For me in the future if i need to step up to a dually im just gonna go straight to a F450. The wide track axle makes a huge difference.
