@xrated That is very interesting. I did not understand the logic of GCWR. On my F350 long-bed diesel, my GCWR is 40,000 lbs. My two axles with the RV attached and fully loaded were under 10,000 lbs. Looking at my CAT scale weights, the steering axle was 4980, the drive axle 5740 and the trailer axle (both) was 7360...for a total of 18,080.

Sorry for the dup... heavy fingers.

That is the easy one. It is the entire lashup. That doesn't mean all the other numbers are to be ignored. You will likely exceed one of them long before you get to 40,000

I don't think you can apply logic to the GVWR, GRAWR, and GFAWR formula. I think the engineers/marketing people mix up all the numbers and pull some out at random.
