OP, sorry you have to worry about the Canadian weight police. I think the 2015 GMC 3500 hd dually you are looking at would be a great match for the Cascade.
This from a commercial haulers website concerning how their truck gvwr is determined. Found this on a haulers website thread which was poking fun at rv website myth about the truck makers gvwr determining how much load a truck can legally/safely carry. These guys and gals are scaled every day so they should know what BC says.
BC Motor Vehicle Act Regulations
Weight scales: (1) thru (3) snipped for length
(4) The gross weight of any vehicle or combination of vehicles shall be the sum of the individual gross axle weights of all the axles of the vehicle or combination of vehicles.
Your 3500 DRW won't have any legal or safety issue carrying weight in the bed right up to its 9xxx lbs rawr in BC
When I read the quote you posted here, I read it as the weight is measured by adding the individual weights. It says nothing here about exceeding anything or any rating. It simply says it shall be the sum, not that it shall not exceed GAWR's. In other words, GVW is not the same as GVWR.
