Not to argue the point but my '03 F350 SRW with 10,000 GVWR had 16" wheels. The 17" wheels on the F250 (2005) is for the larger brakes. If I recall (would have to doublecheck) the 18" and 20" wheels were an option on the F250. My point was that my '05 F250 has the same GVWR and higher tow and GCWR ratings than my '03 F350 SRW and that is still a fact. The '03 had a higher payload because of the additional leaf in the spring. My '05 has a lower payload than my '03 F350 which is why the airbags to remove the inch of sag in the F250 with the pinweight we had on the 3295RK. This 3400 has a pinweight lighter than our 3295 by 440 lbs The '05 F350 has a higher GVWR max than the F250. But the 05 F250 still has better numbers than my '03 F350.

Also, my truck probably has a lower payload than the supercab and standard cab trucks. Mine is a crew cab.

For the benefit of those looking to buy a TV, what I am saying is look at the numbers, not whether it is a 3/4 or 1 ton. The numbers are what is important. My F250 having higher numbers than many of the 1 tons on the road is testament to that.
