"One of your points was "The 14k is to keep the truck in the class 3." How do you know that? Where is a document with that claim? Do you have a document stating that the truck in has been derated? If so, how much? "
I have NO proof other than as I have explained before. How can they have a RAWR of 9,750# and simply not add a pound to the unloaded FAW of around 5,100# without going OVER the GVWR???
I am within FAWR and at RAWR and within GCVWR. There is not a Law Enforcement Agency that will give me a ticket unless I don't have the tonnage to cover my trucks GVW.
You think any of those test results would change with a 37,800# "rated" combined load if the truck was at 14K or 15K?
If anyone wants to stay at 14K you really are not going to be hauling a very large 5er.
