My order of importance/priority
1) Rear Tire MAX LOAD Rating
2) RAWR
3) GVWR
I'm comfortable running at tire MAX Load, at RAWR and over GVWR
Not concerned with GCWR as I would have to exceed the other ratings to reach GCWR OR FAWR cause with a 5vr the front axle weight doesn't change much and is way under rating
Nor am I concerned with mfg. MAX Tow Rating as that is a magical number achieved by marketing group.........not in real world towing as most vehicle ratings would have to be exceeded to reach MAX TOW Rating
