GM now has many different GVWRs for each truck class. It's almost as if they held the payload number and adjusted the gvwr to suit.
Once again, proves that gvwr is merely a "paper" number to the chagrin of all the weight cops, lol!
Otherwise how could you have a swing of 1300-1500lbs gvwr for the same chassis and designation. and how does the gvwr go up with the weight of the truck, in the same class?

Have posted this now, waiting for all the weight ninnies to chime in either with their shoe in their mouth or some other "theory."

I just looked at the payload sticker on my new 2020 Silverado dually. 5200#, about 500# less than my 2011. I also spent some time under it today. The components are truely massive. The driveshaft has a larger diameter than the streetlight in front of my house. The rear end looks like it should be in a school bus

I don't think I'm gonna worry too much if I end up a little over the "number"
