Well then the W-22 could be called the W23.5 then (8,500# + 15,000#) </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
True, I never looked at the W22 weights. Now that I have what are the optional front and rear axles I see listed in the W22 specs on the Workhorse website???
Capacities
Gross Axle Weight Rating-Front (lb.) 7,500 8,000
Optional-Front (lb.) 8,500
Gross Axle Weight Rating-Rear (lb.) 13,500 14,500
Optional-Rear (lb.) 14,500 15,000
W22 specs </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Front 8,500
Rear 15,000
Mine has the optional axles, and most of the larger coaches built on the W-22 come with the optional axles, so there is some "room" to play with.
The bottom line though:
W22 = 22,000 GVWR (although front and rear axles are rated for 23,500lbs)
W24 = 24,000 GVWR (although front and rear axles are rated for 24,500 lbs)
Was the W24 worth an extra $5,000 over the W22 for my coach? Nope...
