Keith,
Are you saying one has to consider the bed weight and additional trailer tongue weight in the GVW calculation?
With my CTD I can tow up to about 13,000# legally if I recall correctly.
I usually am pulling about 12k.
It seems logical that the towing truck weight, any bed cargo weight and then the tongue weight from my gooseneck on the ball is what is figured for GVWR, and for the total combined weight its the weight of the truck and trailer/cargo?
