    Food for thought, if you’re exceeding the weights stated on that door sticker, no matter what helper springs etc, in the event of an accident you’re probably uninsured and criminally liable.

    Are you just an ambulance chaser? Or do you cover other areas of the law too? Interested in updating my Trust. :D

    Exceeding the speed limit increases the probability of getting a ticket.

    I’m not sure why the OP posted what he posted or exactly what he is trying to say but I’ll just add. Think of tow ratings and weight ratings like speed limits: Vehicle owners don’t set them; we’re just obligated by law to abide by them. Sure, your truck can tow a trailer at 100 mph all day. But the speed limit may be 55 mph. If you have an accident while towing at high speed, things will definitely get a bit sticky.

    Causing a serious accident while towing beyond your pickup manufacturer’s requirements or weight limits is similar, as it opens the door for legal actions based on negligence against whoever is driving the tow vehicle. It’s not a good situation to be facing
