Porkysplace, thank you for the gvwr. If any moderators want to edit this from 12 to 10 to keep the red flags down, please go ahead. And the way I understand gvwr, it's the vehicle weight plus the payload. So a big rig pulling an aluminium trailer could haul more weight than one with a steel...

Sorry for causing problems with my first post. Since someone brought up 12,000 being over the weight limit, I've been asking about a 10,000 lb load. I haven't bought the truck yet, and didn't remember what the data plate said. I have googled and searched for the gvwr for these trucks. I can't...
