Well........ don't see where it is stated GVWR is based on "a clear reference to the tires and rims determining the GVWR."
Perhaps you should reread the Vehicle Certification Label. I thought it was pretty clear. The only thing that is not clear to me is why the combined axle GVWRs and single GVWR stated are not the same.

It does state......"The Gross Front and Rear Axle Ratings (GAWRs)are based on a minimum rim size and a maximum cold tire pressure.
I agree.

In your example.....
FAWR....2850
RAWR....2700
Total...5500
YET GVWR is only 5000
This is not my example, it is directly from the 2004 Ram Service Manual.

So.......NO doesn't seem that a clear reference to the tires and rims determining the GVWR has been made. Does make a clear reference to the GAWRs which are much lower then 'axle mfg. 'ratings'
For me it is clear, the others will have to come to their own conclusions.

It could if someone refuses to accept the Service manuals Vehicle Certification Label information.
lc0338 - I have no idea what the Cab and chassis vehicles do or do not have. Perhaps a Service Manual would provide the info?
