Re: Truck registration GVW

20K rear + 12K front = 32K Sounds like a case of legal maximums being lower than mfg's rating.

That might be but I think most states do not allow you more than 20K on any single axle - period..........I think that is where your 1000 lbs went. Its just like getting 40K tandems - you still can't put more than 34K on them legally.

Re: Truck registration GVW

32k total that is what I can have legally but the truck if I use the axle ratings comes in at 33k. There also should be something on the sticker that tells you your legal max, which in my case says 32k.
