IMO its fruitless trying to figure why or how a truck makers arrives at a GVWR or the GAWRs for a particular truck.
I never had a problem with this part.
Check with DMV what GWVR steps up registration fee, or require special licencing.
In CA pickup is a vehicle with GVWR of no more than 13,400lb and guess what the sticker on my dually says?
same as mine 13... I pretty much ignore GVWR and concentrate on the axle and tire ratings ( plus I beef up the suspension above stock)
This is my position on this subject.

Some questions for the Californians , I am just trying to understand this .
What , if any is the criteria for registering the GVWR of your truck ?
Could you register a 1500 pickup at 13,300 ?
What is a manufacturers responsibility if you register their 10k GVWR truck at 13k ?
I am not talking about the trucks actual capability , just the legal aspect , which I think is what the original post was about , but I have been wrong before .
when I did it a month ago there was a series of check boxes with weight ranges, you just checked the appropriate one on the form.
