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.
Sounds like the guy with the 10k gvwr sticker option on the F350 is screwed in court.
