I recently purchased a 2016 f350 dually, it has the high capacity tow package which gives it the same wide track front axle and 4:30 gearing as the f450. I have heard that they wont be offering this in the 2017 models, but it does make a huge difference in turning radius!

Im certain calf is similar to Ma, I had to get a commercial plate, commercial insurance and even had to open a commercial account for the toll pass(ez pass) insurance was a few hundred more. Vehicle loan was through my local credit union and the same rate as other vehicle.

I went from a 2011 f250 with 3:55 gears and the 6.7, empty I would get about 17mpg, this truck I get about 14.5mpg @ 70mph.

Ride is a little worse than my previous truck, but im getting used to it, loaded the ride is better!

Options, I bought the platinum it has every option and I love it!

I did look at buying a 450, but for me I just didtnt feel I needed it and honestly liked having regular 17" tires vs the 450's 19.5"...maybe someday I will regret that decision.
