I believe that is true for the F450 cab and chassis models, with GVWRs of ~16k.
But, the pickups are limited to 14k GVWR to keep them in a Class 3 rating.
So, even though the F450 is a much heavier duty truck than the F350, it seems you cannot use that extra capability without exceeding the manufacturers "derated" weight limits.
I assume there must be some extra licensing or registration issues in some areas? I've never had an F450 so maybe I'm missing something also?
Thanks,
