But since he has basically the same truck but with leaf springs, surely he realizes that it's not an issue....
The State of Washington licensed my 2001.5 2500 GVWR 8800 at 12K the same as my 2015 3500 SRW. I towed at 10,500 on the truck, much like Russ. I worried a bit about it, but hey the state licensed it to 12K, so I do not think anyone would have a case against it. Everyone has to make their own personal choices. No pickup will exceed the Federal Bridge weigh laws, which each state enforces at their chicken coups. If one is in a state that licenses tonnage be sure to be licensed for the weight you carry.
The Pied Piper reference was just because someone else does it, it is not a license for others. Everyone has to make their own determination and abide by their states rules and licensing requirements.
Remember also your manufactures warranty and their ability to reject a claim for an issue they determine that is not within their specs for use a given vehicle. "You have an axle seal leaking, however we see you have air bags, which is indicating you are using your truck beyond the specs we set for it" Claim denied, cost is repair is $699.99, please see the cashier to pay, they will have your keys for you.
Motor on!
