can I increase my tow vehicle's tow rating
am confused. just read in july. manufacturer's use engine power for tow rating but further states if you improve performance it won't improve tow rating?

If you're such a "rule breaker" then why did you ask?
The truth of the matter is nobody knows how or if you would ever be held personally liable for any consequences associated with exceeding factory ratings. Lawsuits usually have NDA's, so those involved can't legally reveal the outcomes, and even if they could, they aren't going to admit to anything publicly.
So whether the "you'll get sued/ticketed" is true or a myth, the one truth here is, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN with anything you do. If the truck breaks, if you cause an accident and get sued, if you get pulled over and weighed, you can't go back to the manufacturer and say it's their fault. You can't come here and say it's our fault. You can't blame your mom or your dad, or the bullies at school. You can't even blame it on the rain that keeps fallin' fallin'... It's all on you.
If you're good with that, then do whatever. Be a maverick. Show the manufacturers they don't know what they're talking about. Thumb your nose at the cops as you drive by.
