Of particular interest are vehicle tax and license categories in various states. Thus you might find the same truck with different GVWR for sale in different places, or with GVWR options, with no physical changes.
Good point.
A good example is Fords F350 SRW trucks. We can get the same exact configured one ton SRW truck with a 11400 GVWR or a 10000 GVWR. Both trucks have the same mechanical specs.
I would add many states don't have any weight to register our vehicle at. I have a 1/2 ton a 3/4 ton and a one ton DRW truck. None require a registered weight.
We simply carry weight up to the trucks certified axle/tire load ratings.
One poster says his 2015 2500 CC GM 6.0 engine long bed 10000 lb GVWR with a 6200 RAWR had a 3450 lb payload sticker. Add 3450 lbs to any 3/4 ton trucks rear axle and its overloaded.
GM's 3450 lb payload sticker was a GVWR payload (both axles) and not a RAWR payload.
