Vin vs door sticker
Punched in the VIN of a truck I’m looking at. It lists the GVWR as 11,400 However the door sticker says GVWR 12,300. Any ideas? It’s a Ram 3500 mega cab PICS

Truck weights have changed significantly over the past several years and the VIN format has not been updated to account for it. A 150/1500 pickup will now weigh 12,300lbs, but the VIN format still only accounts for a max gvwr of 11,400lbs for a 150/1500 model.
So the manufacturers (Dodge is the most common for "overweight" pickups)
