That is 20-22K per pickup with singles, trailers in the 16-20K per tandem for a typical tire width rv.
It could also be based on the PAID for license to. IE my C2500 is licensed at 8000 lbs. I am NOT legal to the door sticker of 8600 lbs. I would need to buy a 10K license to do so. THEN I would be legal to 10K also. As the above paragraph points out, with 9.5" tires, I am good to 9500 per axel or 19K total. Not happening any time soon.
