Gosh golly gee Batman, there must be thousands and thousands of overloaded Silverado’s, F150s, Ram 1500s and Tundras pulling trailers out there.
Ohhh, the humanity!
I think it really depends on your definition of "overloaded".
If your definition of overloaded is travelling above the manufacturer's specified GVWR of the vehicle, then yes, I'd say there are thousands of people pulling overloaded, and that also includes many 3/4-ton vehicles, based on data I've seen from people who even bother weighing their rigs.
On the other hand, if your definition of overloaded is pulling over the rated "tow capacity"....then most are likely within that magical number.....
Then there's overloaded as in over the rear axle GAWR.
