Taking the idea that GVW is a performance and manufacturer's rating only.
Does that mean GVWR doesn't matter and can be ignored?
I don't think so. All the ratings have some significance and should be factored into your decisions.
I never get a good answer on this one.
How can I load my rear axle to it's RAWR of 9,750# and not add a single pound to it's front axle weight of 5,250# and be within the 14k GVWR???
I got booted off IRV.NET over disagreeing with SmokyWren a monitor on this subject.
No one wants to tackle this one??????
I think I did in many more words than needed.
SMokeywren is full of the sheet that hits the fan causing a major mess, as he knows NOTHING about the actual true weight laws and how they are enforced!
Your axle ratings per manufacture, are not legal either. YOu can in reality, put 20K on your rear axle, as you have enough tire width to do so. SWAG about 10-11K lbs on the FA. SO you could go down the road weight wise upwards of 30-31K lbs. Not that I would reccomend you do this, any more than me running down the road at 22K lbs in my 1500!
