The math would look something like front axle 5000lbs + rear axle 6000lbs = GVWR 9900lbs. and make total sense, no doubt. :C
For the life of me I can't figure out why light trucks / cars have axle ratings and GVWs that don't add up.
Maybe they figure your average consumer don't have the knowledge or ability to shift weight around like a commercial driver?
Which is a valid concern, how many 5th wheel haulers will/can slide the rear tandem, the fifth wheel, and shift camp gear to the cab to stay legal on all 3 axles?
