I am not an attorney, but these threads really crack me up.
I've said it before and I will say it again...
If you cause a wreck you are liable. You don't get a free pass because you were under your weight limit.
Officer...." Sir you caused the accident"
Sir..."But I was under my GVWR, GAWR, And GCWR."
Officer...."Oh, that changes everything...no charges...good job for being under your weights."
This has never ever happened...if you wreck someone you are liable. Ratings be darned.
Similar to the Toyota chief engineer for the Tundra said...it's all about the operator...ratings are there for the guy who doesn't really know how to load a truck and pull a trailer.
It is up to the operator to operate the vehicle safely...overloaded or within the ratings. I don't care if your truck is rated to tow 25k lbs if you are not personally capable of handling that rig your trucks ratings don't mean a darn thing.
Thanks!
