Hi Mike,

I agree as any of the 1-ton dually pick-ups would have no problem being with-in truck spec"s with most flatbed trailers with this load.

Any tow vechile is only rated to stop the tow vechile GVW. The trailer is only rated to stop the trailer GVW.

As long as your with-in both vechile"s GVWR then there"s no problem with the combination.

The only time GCWR comes into play is for mfg warranty only!

DOT could care less what your GCWR is. DOT only cares that you do not exceed GVWR and GAWR and thats why both of these ratings are on the tow vechile door post certification.

GCWR appears no where on the door post certification.
