Agree that Ford's published maximum payload rating is higher for the F350 dually versus the F450 dually.

I'm not a ford guy but I believe you get the wider track front end which gives you the better turning radius and a whole bunch of heavier duty parts. wheels, tires, brakes, axles, etc. The reason for the reduced payload is they are both limited by the 14k limit for a class 3 truck and those parts are well, heavier.
Don't confuse ratings with actual capability. The 450 is a stronger truck in every way except for the rating.2021 Solitude 375 RES-R

The F450 has the wide track front end (which gives you the tighter turning radius), larger 19.5 (vs 17") commercial tires, larger brakes and a few other changes. We test drove an F450 and I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice the ride was. Ford (and the industry as a whole) has come a long ways.
