I bet far more minivans and SUVs as well as cars on trips to Disney World are way more overloaded than we realize. Almost all make it unscathed. I've seen many pickup trucks with and without trailers obviously grossly overloaded going along without failure. Some, like the Explorer fiasco, weren't so lucky. Just the same, I'll exceed GVWR or GCVWR but I won't exceed axle or tire ratings. In the mountains I would likely want to be well below both of those ratings.
