Ok, you say for warranty post a link to creditable site that says that not just take my word for it.
To start this I will post a creditable link to site that states not to exceed and even list what might happen if you do and this one from GMC own website.
Overloading your truck or SUV can carry severe consequences,
Now your turn for a link saying it just warranty and don't worry about exceed the GVWR....I believe people should have the facts but believe me because I say true isn't a fact.
You are asking me to prove a NEGATIVE
Your link is a MFGs Recommendation with 'What Ifs'
*Broken springs and suspension components due to excess weight
That is from overloading the AXLE/SUSPENSION Components....something I do NOT recommend *Brakes unable to stop the truck or SUV in a timely manner
Once again..braking ability is based on AXLE Rating
Don't exceed axle ratings *Transmission and other driveline components may overheat and sustain serious damage
Only issue that is related to GVWR and warranty coverage could be denied. Course that applies to engine tune programs etc *Unusual suspension behavior, making the vehicle hard to control
Once again..suspension is part of the Axle Rating.
Do NOT exceed Axle *Tire temperatures rising to elevated levels, potentially leading to a blowout
Tire Load Rating and proper air pressures
Do Not exceed........Tire Load Ratings are typically Higher then Axle Ratings so you would have to overload axles in order to overload tires.
Under inflation causes heat build up and blow outsBye-Bye
Let your informed conscience be your guide
