The ability to register any vehicle at whatever weight you are willing
to pay is fairly new to me
Please confirm that when you've registered your vehicle above the

That 'R' is 'RATING'.
Was told on another thread on this portal, that there is NO 'R' in
DMV registration weight...other than the OEM's various 'R' ratings

It is mainly for licence purpose. Plus in the commercial world there are big rule differences between a 10,000# GVWR and a 10,001# GVWR.
In a Fleet vehicle you can have a 10,000# GVWR and under and you don't need a DOT# on the truck and anyone can drive it. If you exceed that number then you need a DOT# on the truck and the operator has to carry a medical card. There are other rules and regs but you get the picture.
If I'm not mistaken, at on time (and it still may be true IDK) but you could order a SRW F350 with a 10,000# GVWR.
