Are you saying the hitch is rated higher than the van's max tow rating? If so, I don't see how that makes it "illegal" to sell, unless you're willing to pull 11,000lbs with a vehicle only rated for 10,000lbs, but that's on you, not the hitch seller.
1. Right, I am asking about me, not the hitch seller.
2. I dont want to get a bunch of tickets from highway patrol, but DOT / port of entry said that these rules only apply to commercial vehicles, not personal.
3. I don't want a dangerous setup either, let alone something that is uninsurable in case of accident.
A few here mentioned that the 10k limit on the van was a limit on the factory hitch, NOT the limit of what it's safely rated for.
