Yeah, I'm probably going to be just fine. From earlier in the thread:

GVWR is the MAXIMUM weight at which the manufacturer will stand behind the vehicle in meeting those regs.
If you go over GVWR your truck is NOT going to fall apart but be aware of the following possible (but unlikely) scenarios:
* You may wear out driveline components faster than their designed life
My biggest concern. But it doesn't look like I have much of a choice, so I guess I'm not going to worry about it.

I have no warranty.

* If you were involved in an accident you could be cited for overloading
Such a citation (likely) wouldn't occur if I'm right at or under the GVWR. Of course I can be sued but that's not likely to be upheld if I'm at/under.

Same as above.

Bearing all of the above in mind, I would not get too excited about 200-400# overweight.
Ok good.
