When I first registered my old '94 Dodge Ram 3500 CTD in Montana, the clerk asked what GVW (Note: NOT GCW) I wanted. I thought for a minute, and said "How about 14,000 lbs?", thinking there was no way I could ever load that much on the old beast. No problem. I forget what it cost, but it certainly wasn't much.
I drug a fifth wheel around the West for a little over two years with that truck, at an approximate GCW of a little over 21,000 lbs. Never got weighed, until I weighed myself at a Flying J in Idaho during the last trip home. I admit, the ongoing weight posts on these forums made me curious.
IIRC, the weight was 21,180 lbs.
