Thanks,

Your axle ratings, tire size and GVWR are listed on the VIN sticker on the drivers door pillar!

Thanks Old-Biscuit,

The truck is equipped for a snow plow so I can use the 6000# for the FAWR.

This may be a stupid follow-up question but, does that mean that even though the posted GVWR is 10,000# is the "real" GVWR 12,200# based on these numbers?

Thanks again.

Thanks Rhagfo. I had to look again for the sticker you referred to and I found it this time. It is not in the same place and is much less conspicuous than the sticker with the payload and tire information.
