To the last sentence.

You don't think there will not be a class action suit behind selling trucks known to be less capable than advertised? And not just advertised, but certified with government mandated stickers?

Guess IMHO it's a good thing manufactures ratings are not the legal amount many of us have to follow per say from a true legal LEO standpoint. But as many CVEO/KEO's have told me. Manufactures ratings are a performance warranty rating. In other words, it meets a certain set of specs. They may not meet what you feel a truck should be able to do!
I don't know if too many trucks today that meet what I want them to do. But they are closer than when I started buying trucks in the late 70's.

I spent some money for my lawyer to have a judge tell Barany Fife the state, let alone the town, does not enforce manufactures rating. But one place the change in ratings might have legal ramifications; Warranty. Now I don't think the slight overload would harm the truck in the time/mile period, but be hard to prove the load did not cause breakdown. And that could hurt some buyers bad.
