Although the 2 models appear to be almost identicle, their differences are numerous when it comes to:
options functions, & capabilities (ie; towing & hauling)

For examples:
F350 can tow & haul more weight than an F250.
F350 is available with DRW (dual rear wheels), F250 is not
You can download free brochures from Fords website to see ALL the differences:

yes there are differences. Most of the other repliers are dead on as to what the differences are. F150's get a softer suspension as well as semi-floating axles. Semi-floating axles means that the weight of the vehicle sits directly on the axleshaft. Overall the engines available are not different. Current models the F150 gets the 4.2L V6, 4.6L & 5.4L V8's Older trucks (80's/90's) was the 300I6 302, 351W. While the F250/350 get the 5.4LV8, 6.8L V10 and Diesel V8's Older (80's/90's) F250/350s were available with the 300I6, 351W, 460 and V8 diesel. F250/350 get stiffer suspension rates and Full-Floater axles, a Full Floater axle is an axle where the weight is placed directly onto the housing itself and the axleshaft has no weight on it all it does is turn. The tires between 2 differ as well. ALL F-series get LT tires but the Load ratings are different. F-150's get a C-load range 250/350 get a D or an E load range tire. All this means is that the sidewall of the tire has more layers to it to help support a higher load. This also creates a stiffer ride since the sidewalls can't flex as much. The transmissions are all the same but the 250/350 will have an external transmission fluid cooling unit to help keep the fluid cool under heavy use. Hope that helped

The F250 is a 3/4 ton truck and the F350 is a 1 ton truck.

No. The trucks are different. The 250 is payload rated at 3/4 ton, whereas the 350 is rated at 1 ton. The 350 will have a more heavy duty suspension and braking system for more towing capacity.

It is the load capacity, the higher the number the more towing and carrying you can do. It starts at 1/4ton, 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton and so on. I hope that helps.

As far as cosmetic looks there isn't any difference, the difference comes in gear ratios and the leaf spring sizes and number of leafs which allows a larger mount of weight to be hauled or towed.

No it is not true. The 350 has heavier suspension components. I will admit there are quite a few parts that are the same, but there is a difference

I own a 250 and have looked at a 350 and it looks like no difference except for the price. I've always woundered this as well.

Besides the different carrying capacity, tire rating, shaft size, torque? Nah

350 has more capabilities as far as towing because it has stiffer leaf springs in the rear as well as some other things
