The grey area is the difference between the sum of the axle ratings and the total vehicle rating(GVWR). Using the axle ratings alone, all the builder would have to do is put a heavier rated rear axle under their vehicles to raise their GVWR? I don't think it works that way. Otherwise, they could put a 7,000 pound rear axle under a F-150 and raise the rating to over 10,000 pounds? More goes into the gross vehicle rating than simply axle ratings.
