It is my understanding that if you exceed the manufacturer's GVWR and other ratings and are involved in an accident you may be found liable for an accident even if you weren't at fault. Your insurance company may also "dump" you and not cover you for towing above manufacturer's rated capacities.
This is why I just bought a F350.
Nope, only way you are liable is if you were at fault for the collision. The manufacturer warranty rating, also known as the GVWR, has ZERO to do with the law. You are legal to the lesser of your registered weight or your tire rating. so long as you are under the lower of those 2 ratings, you are legal and there is nothing that anyone can do to you... except maybe your dealer denying warranty work, but they would have to be able to state that being over your warranty weight caused whatever item to break.
