In that article, it seems to me as though the author confuses GVWR with
actual curb weight. Now I don't know if those signs apply to curb weight or
gross weight (obviously the ones that say gross apply to that) so I can't
comment on that. However, my truck's GVWR is right close to 6000 pounds,
IIRC. Keeping this in mind, I'd suspect that some of the heavier optioned
Daks out there would fall into this category as well, while only actually
weighing about 4000 on average.
