Frame specs and front suspension look the same, as do tires, wheels, front brakes, etc. I'm going to look closer because it is strange.
One item that jumps out is that by upgrading the rear axle by 1,100 pounds (9,600 versus 8,500) Ford increases chassis rating by as much as 2,000 pounds. That's 12,500 maximum for E-350 versus 14,500 pounds maximum for E-450.
There must be more to it but I haven't found it yet. Otherwise there is more safety margin with E-350.
