"I'm trying to remember the last time I followed a manufactures gvwr much leas axel ratings, as In washignton st, you are legal to what you paid for, along with 20K per axel, as long as you have have at least 2-20" width tires. If smaller width tires, such as SW pickups, you get about 10K per axel, A typical pickumup dually will have enough tire for 20K lbs..........oh yeah, washington state DOES NOT recognize manufactures ratings as being law, legal or otherwise!"
Obviously this poster feels that that he is more knowledgeable than the manufacturer as to what he can safely tow. FWIW this seems to be a pretty common attitude.
