WOW! Surely that's a mistake.

So the curb weight of a brand new crew cab long bed diesel dually 4x4 is 7200#? I'll believe that when me shjt turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet. https://youtu.be/1xbLO5bB0Tk

This 2021 GMC 3500 regular cab with the 6.6L gas has a payload rating of 7442 lbs.If I were to buy a new truck today this is what I would buy.

If you do the math for a GVWR of 14K, the truck would have to weigh only 7172 which is probably than a SRW crewcab gasoline model with the smallest engine. Something is off. Maybe regular cab with gasoline engine DRW with no fuel.

Did Chevy made what Ford did in 2017 and put aluminium beds?The payload rating on heavy trucks was always taxable number and having no meaning in real hauling.
