I think you're the only one. I've got everyone else riled up.
One more question: Let's assume your new gooseneck trailer weighs 6k with the 9900 GVWR. You're hauling 6000 lbs of lumber on that...

In your hypothetical lawsuit example, couldn't you call a Ford expert to testify that the truck was not overweight because it was designed to carry 14k and not the 10k listed on the door sticker?
