I think you are confusing gross weight with GVWR. Gross weight is the weight measured on a scale on the day. The actual weight at the time of weighing. The rule requires that the tow vehicle be a pickup truck with the stock OEM box and with a GVWR not to exceed 6,000 KG. The combination weight as actually measured can't exceed 11,000 KG. The combined total of the truck GVWR and the trailer GVWR can exceed 11,000 kg, just not the actual scaled weight.
The trailer has to be primarily living quarters. A horse trailer with a small living quarters does not comply, nor does a race car trailer with a small living quarters and a big garage. A toy hauler with a garage that converts to living quarters would comply.
