Very few trucks are sold with 17" wheels, and those are the only ones with a 6000 lb RAWR. The models with 18" or 20" wheels have a 6500 lb RAWR.

I wouldn't personally lose much sleep about being a bit over the GVWR on a diesel 3/4 ton as long as I stayed in my axle/tire/wheel ratings, but that's just me.
