There is another issue here that is often overlooked. Civil liability. We live in a highly litigious society. It's why we all have to carry umbrella policies. Should you get into an injury or death related accident, even if not your fault, if it's discovered that you were towing weight over the manufacturer's set limits, you are setting yourself up to be sued. Yes your insurance will cover you. Then drop you like a hot potato and put you on a blacklist.
And that NEVER happens. First the trailer in question would have to be weighed at the scene to prove it was over weight. Not a good way to do that. Second. manufacturer's weight ratings are NOT law. they are warranty limits only. Auto makers do not write law.
And as has been asked on this site a million times. Give a real world example of someone being sued because their TT was too heavy. There are none.
And My brother's wife's brother's friend had a friend that had a friend that knew a guy who had a brother who knew a guy who got sued. That don't count. Has to be first hand knowledge
