This is absolutely wrong. You can't be denied coverage just because your vehicle is overloaded. Think about it, even if you are drunk driving and get in an accident you are still covered (except if you happen to have a specific exclusion). The insurance company can after the fact cancel your policy but they can't deny the claims from the accident. Same for overloaded. Look up the term "Gross Negligence".

And warranties are covered by the Magnuson - Moss Warranty Act. Look it up.

I don't in anyway condone operating over the vehicle limits (up to and including 100% is fine), but the "scare" stuff along with the "your going to kill you wife and kids" is baloney.

While we're at it, the "bit stiffer ride" is a hoot!. Loaded maybe, empty they ride like you have no suspension. You can't competently handle a payload of 2500 pounds and have a soft ride while empty. They are mutually exclusive. Don't fall for that line.
