Deuce G.V.W.

[gimpyrobb]

So since the deuce is rated at 2.5tons off road and 5tons on road, would that be a 10,000lb G.V.W. or would you include the vehicle weight? 23,500?

Yes.

This is what I've always gone by -

M35A2 W/OW

Curb weight 13,030 lbs
Payload 10,000 lbs
GVWR 23,030 lbs
Towed load 10,000 lbs
GCWR 33,030 lbs

You could do a 2,200 pound load in the bed and 23,500 on the pintle for a GCWR of 38,700 if you're not in a hurry!! There were 4 tires, I know they don't weigh that much each!!

GVWR = Gross vehicle weight rating (truck + payload)
GCWR = Gross combined weight rating (truck + payload + trailer)

I registered mine for 10,000. Believe it for not the vin came back at the DMV as a 6,000 pound truck. I know a few people in my area that registered theirs for 10,000.

Here in New York, I registered my deuce as a historical truck. The reg costs 25 a year. You are supposed to limit use to occasional and not for daily use. Mileage is limited to 3000 a year, but this is an insurance stipulation.

Because of the Historical status, I kept my GVW at 17900. It would not cost more to list the weight as more but with the three axles going over 18K could be a problem license wise.

Long time, no post. Good to see your still visiting.


Thanks to all that replied. I wasn't looking for info on registration, I was looking at adding a crane and it requires the truck have a certain GVW. I wanted to make sure I was thinking correctly, thank you all.
