can't get the gvwr math to work
I want to buy a Bigfoot 25C9.4SB and a short bed srw crew cab diesel to match. Everything I read says "gvwr gvwr gvwr - never violate your trucks gvwr!". ok. So, Bigfoot says their camper is 3K ...

Another thing to consider is whether or not there was a chassis cab version of your truck and what was it rated to? In my case, the chassis cab duallies of my year were rated to 12k instead of 10k. This tells me frame, axles, brakes, driveline are all good for that. 10,000# is a magical cutoff between Class 2 and Class 3 trucks, so I'm sure there are taxes and **** to be had off of that. In my case the only real difference in trucks was additional upper overloads and a different transfer case (and of course frame rail width). I slapped on some airbags and the truck handles the camper just fine.
