Palazzo Question regarding GVWR and GCWR

I was meandering on the web today and came across an add for a Palazzo 37.4 and 36.3. I looked at the rigs and something jumped up and hit me across the head. The Thor specs state the GVWR is 30,500 and the GCWR is 33,000. Is that accurate and the Palazzo only has a towing capacity of 2,500 lbs unless you run well below the GVWR? Are the Thor specs accurate or did they goof?

Personally at 30,500 lbs IMHO the coach is under powered with only the 340 HP version of the Cummins 6.7. I know the folks with the older Pre-2018.5 Senecas that had Cummins or Freightliner up-tune their 6.7 from 340 to 360 HP paid close to 1K for the mod.

I believe that those numbers are accurate, and they are why I ended up with an Aria instead of a Palazzo.

I haven't looked at the current model year Palazzos or Arias, but for 2018 the Palazzo was equipped with an Allison 2500 series transmission whereas the Aria came with a 3000 series. The 2500 series transmission was the limiting factor for GCWR and engine power on the Palazzos then and may still be for the current models.
