Towing wreck - overloaded hitch

This one covers many of the Polly Anna positions and advice on these
types of forums...including the ones we don't normally hear about (NDA
and if the NDA is violated...have to pay back their money and get
sued for damages)

• Never heard of a law suit...now this one addresses that
• Nothing Wrong with over loading
• They never check overload
• OK to modify and the OEM still has the liability
• Just return it to stock when you go back for warranty
• It is OK to go over the speed rating
• I've been doing it for decades with no problems
• and a BIG ETC

Sure this owner modified, or had it modified and goes to taking the
OEM off the liability hook. Those who modified it are now on the liability
hook

Again, design teams spec out the ratings to both meet the regulatory
agency requirements (min) and design margin for warranty (AKA Safety
Margin)

Those who always say it's okay to go over the limits should take
note of this and think about what they advise...and to those who
think it only happens to the other guy...well tell that to the family
of the deceased innocent's...

Key to this one is that a DA has filed charges...where as the NDA'd
ones did NOT have a DA file charges...
