I don't know for a fact but I believe the 374 is built off of the toy hauler frame.
I was talking to a GD rep on RV Show and conversation went something like this.
Me - The Cargo Capacity on the 375 is really low for all the storage it has why doesn't GD. put 8000-pound axles on this unit.
Rep - The limiting factor is the frame, not the axles. Lippard rates all their frames for a max GVWR and we match the axles to carry that load.
Me - Why doesn't GD use a higher rated frame.
Rep - Thats a good question, I will back to you with an answer
I gave him my email address but he never got back with me and didn't follow up since I knew I was going to purchase one.
