Weight confusion

Could the 6200#'s be the axle carry weight and 9800 be the GVW?

That would make sense at any rate 9800 lbs is too heavy for 97 dodge ram 2500 Cummins

6200 is most likely dry weight
9800 is gross weight

The GVWR sticker says 9500 pounds but I'm not sure if this is dry or wet and if this is loaded what's the dry weight
The nada says 6200lbs but I am not sure this is correct

I am amazed that a ‘97, 3/4 ton, Cummins Ram, is not rated to handle 9800#. I’m glad I didn’t look at the “yellow sticker” :E when we were towing with ours! We likely were a little over our rating!

GVWR is the maximum that the trailer is rated for fully loaded with all your gear, food, water.... The empty dry weight of the trailer is probably 20% - 25% less than the max.

So that would mean trailer is about 7200lbs

I just saw an online ad for "2000 GLENDALE GOLDEN FALCON 25MGT" it lists the DRY weight at 7580lbs.
NICE looking rig!

Hmmm I think my old truck could pull that
