My truck is painfully close or over the truck’s gross weight limit. It handles fine and in 30,000 miles hasn’t shown any ill effects from overloading. BUT, in the event of a traffic accident am I opening myself up to a liability nightmare? I couldn’t imagine in litigation being overweight would play out very well!
Anybody have any experience with this issue? I am torn about replacing my current truck with a 1 ton. |

Was at an RV lot and saw a Dodge 3500 SRW (fairly new) deliver an Arctic Fox 1140 (or 1150)....only mod he had was airbags and claimed it drove very well. I saw he had Toyo's which I think have a higher weight cap.
Point? He had to be WAY over as the 1140/50 showed 3895 dry weight no options on the back. He was also pulling about a 30 foot trailer. |
