F350, 10k GVWR differences
So I will give you the reason first, my Home Owners Association limits us to 10K gross weight vehicles outside of the garage. No rules on what is in the bed. Now for the question, if all the trucks...

Here in Washington, said 10k door sticker truck would probably have a minimum 12k legal gvw due to how this state licenses trucks. So you may want to make sure they do not ask for a copy of registration.
Here, take base wieght, times 1.5, to next higher ton.
If the truck empty wieght is 7000 lbs, times 1.5 equals 10,500. Next higher ton is 12,000. That's how much tonnage you would be required to buy. Even if the door sticker is less than 10k.

Yep, Washington with its goofy weight calculations. My old 2500HD regular cab gas only weighed 5200 lbs empty, so they tagged it at 8K even though GVWR was 9200.
