I have never heard of a citation for overweight. I think what you are trying to get at is, what are the ramifications if I am over weight towing.
To me I look at it differently. I've been overweight many times, mostly due to not being able to afford the right equipment. I generally am only over weight with rock in the bed, but I've been overweight towing too. I have my setup with extra capacity not because the weight police. But because it makes the 10 hour journey so much easier with a proper setup. My buddy tows his 14k dry fifth wheel with a SRW F350 and he thinks it's fine. I'd prefer a dually as I've been in his pickup towing. To each their own.
