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 ...

I am not sure it is a typo as here is another one listed in the specs as only 2460 pounds for payload or Dave Smith motors has issues.(laughing)

We all know that a modern Dodge dually can carry more than 2460 pounds.
I have noticed a lot of Dodge trucks listed this way. What the dealer is doing is showing the rating for a SRW instead of a DRW. I have even seen on the original window sticker the rating for a SRW but then in a different area it shows the higher rating for the DRW.
