Yeah, you can't add the front and rear axle ratings together to get the GVW.

I think my old C-50 was only 16K GVW but it's long gone now. Not sure how that was calculated, but it just had a 305 V-6 and a 4 speed so that might have figured into it. I'm not going to say how much I hauled with it and the pole trailer since I never had the rig weighed, but I'm pretty sure it was up in the 20K+++ range
