There are no "other configurations" in the F-450 pickup. They all have long bed, diesel engine, automatic tranny. And the only rear axle available beginning with Job 3 in January 2008 is 4.30 limited slip. The only GCWR available is 33,000 pounds.
F-450 chassis cab trucks still have options for gas engines, manual transmission, cab-to-axle (CA) measurement, and rear axle ratio, both open axle and limited slip. Available GCWR includes 26,000, 28,000, and 30,000, depending on engine, transmission, and rear axle. You can still get the 4.88 rear axle ratio on a chassis cab truck, but not on a pickup.
Before the Job 3 changes, the F-450 pickup had 3,000 pounds more GCWR than the chassis cab. After Job 3, it has even more. But no, I don't know how the engineers came up with the additional GCWR for the pickup.
