Not sure about GM, but have you checked the door sticker of different models on the lot..................
* the ones with vehicle specific values - Certification, Tire loading, emission, price, to name but a few.
BTW, Ford "cheated" to come up with a Maximum payload rating for a product range. It would have been theoretically possible for a customer to order a truck with the configuration that resulted in that max number - not that most folks would want to. So was it really "cheating" or simply misleading?
It does not mean they were off the hook for calculating each specific vehicle's rating for the Tire label.
