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!".

Typical rv website stuff.
For the rest of the trucking world out here when we look at the same one ton DRW truck we look for the one with the bigger GAWRs....mostly RAWR as its carrying most if not all the load.

Big rig trucks do not have GVWRs.....just GVW = sum of the trucks axle ratings. GVWR based payload sticker or gvwr simply isn't used to determine how much weight a truck can legally/safely carry....just like before the internet and rv websites.

Your state (CA) vehicle size and weights commander says in a email from a rv owner asking if gvwr/gcwr is used in determining weights....;
snipped for length
**Section 1085(d) of Title 13 California Code of Regulations prohibits the loading of tires above the maximum load rating marked on the tire, or if unmarked the maximum load rating as specified in the applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, or in a publication furnished to the public by the tire manufacturer. This would most likely happen in the case of a pickup truck towing a large fifth wheel travel trailer, as those types of trailers tend to transfer a larger portion of their weight to the last axle of the towing unit causing that axle to exceed the tire load limits.**

Just stay under the truck makers axle/tire load ratings for safety reasons and no worries of any civil lawsuits for being overloaded.
