Door decal and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The GAWR is the lowest of the tire and rims OR the axle manufacturer axle limit.

Or something else on the vehicle.

Since we are talking 2004 Dodges in this thread it is a great example.

AAM 11.5" axle rated at 10,912lbs by AAM. SRW/DRW irrelevant.

DRW tire capacity: 11.340lbs
DRW wheel capacity: 10,400lbs
RAWR: 9,350lbs.

SRW tire/wheel capacity: 6390lbs
SRW RAWR: 6,010lbs or 6,200lbs

So what is making that limit? It isn't the axle, tires, or wheels.
