Have you ever been pulled over by the DOT or are you making that stuff up?
They do not look at those things, at least not in any of the many times I have been over the years. They look at tire capacity, by size only according to their own charts and not by rating stamped on the tires, wheelbase (they call it “bridge”) and how much weight you paid license fees for. They look at legal - not rated - axle limits but a pickup can’t approach those.
This is in the US. Canada they do check the factory ratings. I wouldn’t take an RV to Canada.
