Maybe if you're hauling 100 packages of flooring or something, or towing a trailer with 8 passengers

But that's for +>1000 lbs cases, not +/- 100 lbs stuff

Over weight is Over weight...doesn't matter if it is 1000lbs or 5. From a legal standpoint that is!

You often hear stories of people asked to provide a sworn affidavit of how much their mother-in-law weighs fully dressed in "vacation casual"?

No, but the livestock trailer i haul her in is way lighter than the travel trailer.

The article above is not a great example of the case/question brought up earlier. The courts will decide % of liability in "overweight" cases like this. For the F350 driver's case, he was grossly (almost double) the weight capacity of his truck's limits. They can prove gross negligence as he was not within any reasonable limits.
For the Expy question, common sense has to prevail because we know physics always wins.

F350 tow ratings, only the DRW setup can even come close if it was 5th Wheel:

GVWR is about all the law cares about.
