Axel Weight Rating

[Laredo250RL]

All the other GD Solitude models show 16,800 as GVWR. So I suspect a typo on their website. I would call their customer service for clarification. Either the 20,000 GVWR is wrong, or the 7,000 axle rating is wrong.

If that's the unit you buy, opt for the 8k axles with disc brakes and H rated tires.

I doubt it's a typo. The 7k axles are their HD axles, but the also offer full 8k axles with discs for that model.
