Re: What determines GVW?
Thanks Longhorn, So it looks like I am right at the limit.
A few more questions.
I hope I’m not getting to anal here but if the tires are rated for load range E @ 3042 each can I assume the wheels need to be rated equally to reach that rating? I have seen some of the steel wagon wheel types only rated for 2000#.
And the obvious question just because the tires together have a load capacity for 12,000 does that mean I would be safe/legal with that weight?
Also you mentioned braking abilities are now considered in the GCVW. Again in the interest of safety is the stock power brake setup adequate for the weights mentioned previously?
One other note, if I lower the gear ratio will that necessarily increase the GVW?
Thanks again for your input.
