I Could Be Very Wrong Here, & If I Am Somebody Please Correct Me. I Always Thought That The Tongue Wieght Was What You Added To The Weight Of Your Truck To Tell If Your Truck Was In The Parameters Of The Gvw. In Other Words.. I Thought The Gvw Was How Much You Could Safely Carry & Not How Much You Could Tow. I Have A C-30 Stake Truck With A 14,000 Lb Gvw While My C-30 Tow Truck Has A 10,000 Lb Gvw.

Like I Said.. I Could Be Wrong... Will Someone Please Enlighten Me?? . John
