New Dodge Ram 3500 GVWR?

Was at my dealer having the beast serviced on Friday. I asked my sales guy why it was that Dodge (and some others) listed the GVWR on the SRW 3500 as 9,900 lbs when the combined GAWR is 11,400lbs?. I have noted that other manufacturers and manufacturers of motorhomes list the GVWR as the sum of the front and rear axle GAWR. He indicated that he did not know why Dodge and others do that (we both suspect there is some legal reason) but said that Dodge would be changing the GVWR to equal the sum of the GAWRs. He also indicated that Dodge was coming out with a 4500 pick-up in the not too distant future. Rumors are fun!

Did a search and did not see this tidbit discussed. If it has been, will delete.
