I made the thread because I was disappointed to learn that a new gm 3/4 would be at or over its manufacturer "blessed" weight ratings with just a mid profile 5th wheel. Confirmed my math was realistic, now I can move on.
Nothing has changed. It has been the same from S/N 001 Duramax 2500HD pickup. Trucks that weighed 7400-7800 pounds and had a 9200 GVWR. Tare weight has got right up with GVWR.
So if believe GVWR is a number you want to honor, then the few hundred more for a 3500 SRW is a good investment.
