GCVW is important, GCVWR is not
How is that? GCVW can't exceed the GCVWR
GCVW is important, GCVWR is not
I just called MTO and they told me that the GCVW is not that important want you need to make sure is that you do not surpass your axel rating on the vehicle or tire capacity and if you do you could re in force the suspension by adding a leaf spring and getting it certified That's what I was told anyways I see guys towing around that shovel with 2005 duramax s so I'm sure this one can do it legally
DOT doesn't care about the GCVWRs as mentioned what matter are the axle ratings, the ratings, and the truck/trailer ratings. GCVWR is a manufacturers number and not one that is used (might be used by a lawyer in case of an accident)

We had several trucks at work that were similar. We also had a Chev C-50 (or something like that ) which was
GAWRF = 8,000
GAWRR = 21,000
GVWR = 25000
It rode like a tank
don't doubt it, but nowhere on there does it say GCVWR
