Granted, on a typical truck, the larger the payload the larger the axle ratings, but ..... Axle ratings do not have any direct bearing on payload or how it's calculated. It's simply two numbers, GVWR and Curb Weight....

No, I got the point exactly when I said Axles should have A LOT to do with GVWR Axle capacity should have a significant impact on the maximum rated weight of a vehicle. Without GVWR you can't calculate payload. Axle ratings having nothing to do with GVWR seems mind boggling.
