Yes it does. It doesn’t change the original sticker, but that’s just like saying putting an addition on your house doesn’t increase its square footage.
The original GVWR is an artificial number to begin with.
If the factory installs parts that increase GVWR the day it’s built, or you add the same ones later, you can choose not to see them, but they’re there.
I once swapped an entire 3/4 ton frame suspension and axles under my F150 half ton.
Then I carried an 11.5 foot camper on it. To you, it wasn’t capable of doing that, but there it was.
