OK, I have to repeat this in yet another thread. Washington state licensed our 8800 GVWR Dodge RAM at 12K. They do not give a rip about the manufacturers GVWR. They take tare weight times 1.5 and round up to next higher even K. Chris
It's almost always the 3/4 ton and below guys that say this. If you're ever in a wreck where you're at 12k GVWR (which would also certainly put you over your RAWR) and injure another party (and I hope your never are) then the manufacturer's rating suddenly becomes very relevant, especially given you are aware of it.
