Where do you think the 14k number came from???? And why?
I don't know and I don't make assumptions. The point could be correct. I want to see it in writing from an authoritative source.
Did you look up the link I posted???
Yes I did and that does not prove the point I think was being assumed.
The way I read someone's point was that it is implied that the truck's GVWR of 14K was limited for insurance purposes only, and the implication is that the truck is capable of safely towing much more. That's the proof I'm want to read. Not an assumption or opinion.
Wikipedia says no such thing. Besides, I don't trust that source. If you go to some of the actual government documents, they show that a Class 3 truck (10,001-14,000 lbs.) is a medium duty truck. States can have a different determination of weight classification.
Regardless of GVWR, it is still used in part to calculate the GCWR and TWR set by the J2807 standards that the manufacturers use voluntarily.
