Yet, the truck GVWR is rated @ 5320#
Why is there a difference ?
as stated, not just the axles...also tires figure in all this equation...As far as I know, it's like that on every truck that I'm aware of....lower GVWR than the sum of the FAWR and RAWR.
My FAWR is 6,000#, the rear is 9750#, which equals 15,750#, but GVWR on my truck is 14,000#...It is what it is....RAWR is covered by the tires you are running....and yes, you could put a tire on with a higher weight rating, BUT....you need to make sure of how much weight your rear axle can handle, or your weak leak could end up being the axle and not the tires....
