When I sat on a jury we had to fill out form stating what factors caused an accident and one of the questions was "Was the Vehicle Operating within manufacture specs - Yes - No What percentage of cause do you assign" or sometime to those words.
Who is the manufacturer... the truck manufacturer that simply assembled the parts, or the manufacturer of the axle?
Is the axle the factor or is the frame, brakes and etc. The towing guides warns you not to exceed GVWR and GM even has page on their site not to exceed the GVWR Click Here YOu can argue all you want but you will to convince a jury of lay people that are not RVers that the warnings put out the Ford, Chevy and Ram are not a reason to go by. After sitting on a jury I will honor the manufacture specs. I don't want to spend legal fees to defend that either.
