Civil liability can hit you under the manufacture ratings also.
Some states like where I live, do not recognize the manufacture ratings when it comes to what an officer will do in an accident or equal pull over.
As I also stated for the OP, In there case. I would not pull said trailer with that truck.
Where one wishes to go with the civil part, is up to them. Civil has a lot of gray in the how one will be found to be guilty. Look at the OJ case, guilty in civil, not guilty in the legal. The guilty standard is way lower in a civil case than legal case too.
I know all about the civil types too. In some cases like my wife a few years back. She was sued. Insurance knew she was not guilty, but still settled for .5mil to the accuser. Accuser on the other hand, was later found VERY guilty of some IRS issues that pretty much took what she got from spouses insurance, and a quite a bit more! BenK can also tell us what happens in civil cases too, even when not guilty!
