The 4500 has a 26000 pound weight limit with the one I looked at going across the CAT scales at 11,112 pounds with DW, 2 kids and full fuel(it did have about a 2000 pound hauler bed and conversion). It left a legal load of 14,888 pounds not much more the most 1 ton dually's. I ended up with a F550 with a Chariot vans conversion, which crosses the scales at 10,044 pounds, leaving me a legal load of 22,956( not that I would ever approach that).
