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-...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but how do you register vehicle with a higher GVWR than what's on the doorjamb?
Some states require some type of weight number for registration purposes. Some states do not.
In my state we have no weight numbers to register our private use trucks at nor can we. We simple carry weight up to the lessor of the individual axle/tire/wheel load ratings.
The thread about the smart car on top of the truck while pulling a 5th wheel trailer is a good example. As long as the truck doesn't exceed the lessor of truck makers front or rear axle/wheel/tire load rating I'm good to go. Registered GVW means nothing on a private use truck ( the size in question) in my state.
