^^^ exactly right. DOT won't play if they stop you pulling that skid. As soon as they run the tag they know it's a 1500 and you will get a 4 figure ticket after they weigh you.....not worth the risk
Isn't that cataloged as part of the vehicle registration from new? It may/may not be printed on the registration card, but I bet it's in the state computer along with what the truck sold for originally, etc.Granted there's no question a 1500 would be over, but what does the DOT use to determine if you're overweight? They're not carrying brochures from the 90s around with tow ratings.

Things may/may not get more complex if the truck has been sold to a variety of owners in different states. I'd kinda expect that every state would be recording all that info from whatever sources they have--perhaps direct from the manufacturer via VIN.
