How can an 01 f350 have a GVWR of only 9200 lbs?
I'm looking at buying a 2001 F-350 7.3 diesel, and the sticker on the door (according to the owner as I have not seen it yet) says the GVWR is 9200.
I did a carfax on the vin and it does come up as a f350. In looking at Ford's specs on the f350's SRW they say the lowest GVWR they built was, I think, 9600.
Why would this truck only be 9200?

You take the GVWR then subtract the actual weight of the truck with whatever "options" and that is your payload capacity.

Well you could have actually responded to what I said by pointing out how I was mistaken or what I was not understanding. How much you know about trucks is demonstrated by what you say or do not by showing us your resume.
It is unclear what you are saying, so the GVWR (the rating of how much the truck can haul based on factors like breaks, springs, shocks, tires, axle etc. can be lowered at the factory because of the weight of added "options"?
Again adding weight to the truck will change how much weight the truck can haul but how does that change the GVWR?
