I don't have an answer to your question other than to say that every single truck we've had has been that way; i.e., adding the GAWR, front and rear, always comes up with a higher number than the GVWR.

For example, our DRW Dodge has a front GAWR of 4,750# and a rear GAWR of 9,350#. That adds up to 14,100#, yet our GVWR is only 11,500#.
