Title 49 is what an OEM has to build to. The individual states, do not enforce this spec in licensing or equal. As there is not a way to field test this spec when you are pulled over.So the states whether own field tests that will hold up in court.
One can spout all they want about this or that spec, but from a legal field test or equal issue, it needs to be black,k and white for an Leo to ticket, or get you off the road somehow with a law. Mean while in civil.court, the bar is much lower, so some of these specs will hold up in court.
I know in Washington state, NONE of these specs are used by Leo or cveo folks.

Don't really understand the reason you want to bring enforcement or other legal issues into this thread. That's not part of the discussion, nor should it be. Title 49 is related to what is required for manufacturers and as such, manufacturers are required place a certification label on the vehicle that includes GVWR, GAWRs, ect. Those are the weights that are never supposed to be exceeded, as well as the GCWR. And when determining towing capacity, GVWR, GCWR and GVW are used.
