When you buy a particular class of vehicle, it is capped to a GVWR due to the class in which it is sold. This does not directly reflect the capacity of the components used. You can even get an identical vehicle with downgraded GVWR so that it will fall under a lower class on regulatory paper yet is materially only differentiated by that tag.
For someone that does not want to do the research, going by the door jam is a safe bet. For those willing to check component ratings, you have latitude beyond that label. I knew what my F250 could do with the right upgrades when I had my Arctic Fox, but I also knew it could not do my Host.
