GMs new > 10klb 2500 rating is a bad thing kids.
Well it’s good for the weight watchers on the Internet but bad in the real world.
For the millions that use trucks as tools, keeping 3/4 tons at 10klbs allows everyone to have a HD pickup for commercial use without the layer of regulations that come with trucks over 10k gvw by the state and federal DOTs.
The cops around here don’t go out of their way, but they do ticket people sometimes or at least mention they could when someone gets pulled over in a 1 ton and trailer and no drivers files or DOT numbers.
