This is in part, why cringe whenever read someone advising that it is
OK to go over the ratings...that they've been doing it with no issues
for decades/100's of thousands of miles
With 99.9 percent of trucks of all sizes out here on the road working for a living and carrying weight above the truck makers GVWR, you must cringe every time you get around one. :)
And its not just a registered weight. Hell I can register the wifes 1500 truck at 15000 lbs but what good is that. The 1500 7000 GVWR with 4000 RAWR/P tires sure can't legally carry weight above the lessor of tire load ratings/wheel load ratings or the individual axle rating.
