GVWR
I'm looking at a 1 ton drw. What is the gross weight on the door sticker ? The new chevy's are at 13025lbs. Because I don't know the weight of the empty truck yet, can anyone tell me if an Arctic fox ...

Playing devil's advocate here, they also say that GCVWR is a performance number and can safely be ignored too, but NOWHERE is it documented in any official manner by either the vehicle manufacturer or the government.
There is no such thing as "GCVWR." The rating to which you refer is "GCWR," which is not a vehicle rating but a "combination" rating that refers to the truck and any trailer that is attached.
There are no ratings that are as critical as GVWR and GCWR on a 1 ton truck, because together those two numbers will probably determine your capacity. While in theory I could probably pull a huge fifth wheel according to my truck's GCWR, the reality is that huge trailer would bust the GVWR first.
