I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to review the DURA on the build. I will select the 11400Ib weight limit and I think we should be OK?
Does anyone disagree?
Thanks for your help!

Steve,
Under 11500 GVWR and it weighs less than 8001 lbs you'll be fine. You can drive just about anything with a Class C license that is under 26k GVWR. I've talked with a couple of CHP Commercial Enforcement Officers about what is considered a pickup. Both said the legal definition in California puts a lot of the newer 1 ton pickups over what is considered a pickup, and if the state ever decided to enforce it, many would be surprised on what they need to have to be considered legal. Now the CHP Officers did say it is not being enforced because theres no way to do it with the man power levels they have :). It just simply isn't being enforced......yet.
As I stated earlier about towing, where you will need to upgrade your license is when you get a Toy Hauler and it is over 10k GVWR.
