In the late 2000's and early 2000 teens, manufactures were increasing the GVWR and towing capacity of their truck just by changing the GVWR on the VIN plate.
Just go compare the frames and brakes of the later trucks with the earlier 2000s generation. GVWR isn't simply an axle/tire rating.
I agree it isn't about tire and axle ratings, BUT before about 2010 most of the GVWR tow capacity increases were just umber changes! About 2010 GM did a frame revision and brakes and springs, RAM followed in 2013. Do we all remember the year that Ram wasn't invited to the Ike because it didn't have the rated tow capacity to compete with GM and Ford?
Now Ford needs to use an F450 to compete with GM and RAM! Yes in the last several years some real changes, but before that it was mostly a numbers game!!
