* Higher GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): The F-450 typically has a significantly higher GVWR than the 3500HD, meaning it can tow and haul heavier loads.
* Payload Capacity: Similarly, the F-450 usually boasts a greater payload capacity.
* Engine Options: While both offer powerful engine choices, the F-450's available engine options often include higher horsepower and torque ratings, particularly in the higher trim levels.
* Axle Strength: The F-450 generally features stronger axles designed to handle the increased weight capacity.
While specific configurations and options within each model year can affect these comparisons, the F-450 is designed and built for heavier-duty work than the Chevy 3500HD. The 3500HD is a very capable truck, but it's positioned in a slightly lighter-duty class.
