Legal? The "legal limits" are what you register your truck for. My Tundra was registered to 8000 lbs, but my GVWR was 7200 lbs. I was LEGAL to 8000 lbs, because that is what my registration paid for. OP, you can register your vehicle to 25,999 lbs and be legal trying to haul that weight... period.
Hold on now. Some states like mine do not register our non commercial trucks at any weight numbers. The GVWR line on a non commercial truck is left blank.
Like my state trooper says "the department doesn't care what weight a non commercial vehicle has on the vehicles registration papers" for determining a trucks legal load limit"..... nor does the department use the truck makers GVWR for determining loads on the vehicles individual axle/tires.
Now if the truck has a commercial registration in my state then the truck will carry a GVW number on the registration papers...which is another topic.
