IMO its fruitless trying to figure why or how a truck makers arrives at a GVWR or the GAWRs for a particular truck.

I never had a problem with this part.
Check with DMV what GWVR steps up registration fee, or require special licencing.
In CA pickup is a vehicle with GVWR of no more than 13,400lb and guess what the sticker on my dually says?
In other states 10,000lb is magic number where the fees step up sharply.
That is why you have so many pickups with 9980lb stickers.
