Should not Doesn't say shall not

 

My thought is people are going to do what they are going to do regardless. I think discussions about weight have been beat to death and we are no more in agreement now than in the past.

 

And the payload is factored into the GVWR which as defined is the "Maximum allowed weight determined by the vehicle manufacturer that the vehicle can be safely operated at or under". Ive been in a court room early in my driving career and witnessed it first-hand.

Nice try though

 

I am not sure you and I are in disagreement. GVWR has always been clearly defined. The disagreement from my perspective centers on how people interprete whether exceedng it has any legal ramifications and whether exceeding it affects insurance coverage. Civil suits seem to be the accepted wild card. Me personally I am always within my sticker weights and have my scale tickets in the console. Color Sally Safe! I don't care what anyone else does and I am sure they do not care what I do.

The OP is splitting hairs. The manufacturer doesn't care what you think. Any slight evidence that you exceeded the ratings and you're SOL from a warranty standpoint.

 

I was just asking, I am legal with my current set up. Previous setup was over though

 

Op, do what you want. Good lord.
If someone on here misguides you.. who's to blame...not you..right?

 

I agree with RV Tech, this has become a dead horse so let's stop beating it. And I also err on the side of caution. My truck and trailer are out of warranty so i don't have to worry about that, I do not choose to risk if an accident occurs that the police might find me in violation and I also don't want some bone head who decides to sue me and his lawyer across the table saying I have to pay.

I also agree with Mickey Bitsko in do what makes you comfortable and happy trails.
