Towing wreck - overloaded hitch
Please people follow the rules and don't run over loaded. First article I've seen like this. Surprised it does not happen as often as this. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/2960844-181/chp-hitch-...

Please keep in mind that the sticker has the ratings for a certain size/type of tire and stock springs.
Many of us throw the P rated tires from our half ton pickups away and replace them with LT Load Range C, D, or even E tires. Some of us also install "overload" springs of one kind or another.
The ratings on the sticker are no longer valid, because the truck is not equipped as shown.
Therefore, the REGISTERED GVW limitation applies.
Only to the AXLE manufactures axle weight rating, or tire rating what ever is lower.
