I have a Kenworth dually that fits in a parking stall with a 18,000lbs payload.
Why couldn't a GMC have 6838lbs ? (Not 6800 or 6900, but exactly 6838...)
All due to the game the manufacturers play with an artificial GVWR. The payload is GVWR - truck weight.
My 2010 F450 has a 14500 GVWR and the years since that time is 14000 GVWR. I don’t believe there is any way the capability is less for a 2021, and I know my truck can easily handle 14500.
It would be nice for the truck manufacturers to agree to all raise the GVWR at once.
