I don't think any WDX-WM300 PW ever had a gross vehicle weight over 9500 lbs.
Seeing that the average PW weighs in around 5500 lbs., that leaves you a 1-ton cargo margin with a huge safety factor of 1-ton+ -.
This means allowing for the vehicle weight and a 1-ton cargo, it should rightfully and lawfully be legal to tag it in the 3/4 ton or 8000 lb. class. Most DOT and revenue people are not experts a can be reasoned with if it came to a legal dispute if you prove that the GVW was just the warranty rating by which they would cover mechanical failures. If it could be proved you were carring any more than what was warranted, they were not to blame. So , title it as a 3/4 ton with a 8000 lb. GVW unless you plan on using it for work in a business.
