I think we've already established the #9100 RAWR is a product of staying under the 14k Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and nothing more
"Don't think that has anything to do with 14K. If I take 5,200# front axle factory weight and add to 9,750# RAWR that is WELL over 14K."
Really? the Ram 3500 DRW weighs almost a thousand pounds less than the F450, yet both have the same 14k GVWR and you see no correlation between that and the "on paper" payload and axle ratings?
Does this help??
"It is not that the axle rating was lowered but the truck got heavier applying the J2807 ... result is adding an extra 400 lbs in base curb weight & people and the lowering of payload 150 lbs. from 5,450 lbs. to 5,300 lbs .... 9,650 - 550 = 9,100 lbs for the F450 vs the F350 DRW rating of 9,650 lbs."
