It would be no different than when the dmax came out. They pulled supposidly a 16K trailer with props to fairs etc around the US. Turns out, the trailer alone was the gcw at the time, add in a 6500 lb reg cab dually, and it was close to 27-28K lbs total! That was in 01!
I know a heavy equipment operator that ran down the road at 40K gcw with a mid 00 4500! those were only rated to 26K gcwr. Going over manufactures gcwr is not uncommmon. ALong with being legal mind you!

Just ruffling a few feathers, LOL I know the laws and know you can gross 80,000 without permit if you can get all the axles right. I've had over 30,000 behind my 6.0 F350 and the truck by itself is 12,000. That's over 42,000 gross on a 2005 sick-o. It's a well known fact with all of us gear heads like you and me that all three will be pretty dang close at the end of the work week. It gets pretty boring with all these "this truck is better this year" threads so we have to keep them interesting. haha
