Good to know... on my Ford 4x4 F-250 my numbers are GVWR: 10000; RAWR: 6100 and max GCWR: 23,200. Our numbers are very close.

Now you know the maximum documented ratings. Next, you need to find out the actual ratings now by weighing your truck. Find a truck scale somewhere and get it weighed. Your truck has an extra 400 lbs at the rear axle versus my Ford. Keep in mind that if you carry and tow enough so that your RAWR is at 6500 lbs, then your front axle must weigh less than 3400 lbs in order to stay at or under your GVWR. Does this make sense?
