Hey Sam:
Both have 3.73 ratios. They are basically the same trucks sans the basic creature comforts etc. One thing that I have noticed (that I failed to mention), is her truck seems to have more git-up-n-go than mine, faster off the line etc. Better acceleration getting on the freeway etc., but I am not knowledgable enough about these trucks to offer anything other than that, a basic observation.

Ive often thought of getting rid of my 350 for a 450, is there a lot of difference between them? My max payload is 12.5k is 15k the average for a 450?

No, neither one serviced yet, mine is scheduled for the 17th of the month, but have wondered if there is a "flash level" difference like you said, it might explain it. However, I gotta tell ya, I am NOT complaining about the mileage, not a bit

Under the 7k load the suspension went only 1/2 way down on its travel.
I've hauling over 10k locally.
There is parallel thread, when somebody posted that the weight rating on those trucks is more of legal issue, than technical. Meaning the F450 is underrated to lower the taxes and lot of other stuff.
Don't know how F350 compares, but than in other thread someone said that F250 and F350 are the same trucks with different differentials and wheels.
