I can read a timeline and know when I am being accused of foul play. Doesn't matter, I quit. You win. Whatever that means.

We don't even agree on when things were posted or edited. I knew that exceptions and sidetracks were being introduced and added the edit to bring it back into focus.
By the way, here is the timeline: You posted at 7:54, I replied at 8:48 and edited at 9:06, you posted the long one at 9:45. No trickery involved, just clarification of what the OP asked about. Unlike others on here, I may be wrong. Others also may be wrong but they are never in doubt.

What if a vehicles GVWR is not limited by the engineers at Ford or GM, but rather by government regulations?

One can play with axle and tire rating to come up with something they "think" is better, but I let the engineers at Ford and GM do it for me.

Licensing requirements (taxes) are the reason for the dual GVWR ratings. Has nothing to do with GVWR or RAWR. Completely irrelevant to the discussion.

As others have stated, only the manufacturer knows where gvwr number comes from. Feel free to change any component you want. I hope that it is the weak link that the builder is aware of. Simply changing brakes or frame thickness may be all it takes. Good luck with your experimenting.
