Then there is the licensed GVWR, which is a state DMV/DOT matter. It's also the one you get a ticket for exceeding. For medium and heavy-duty vehicles you can license it for almost any weight you want, they charge by the pound. In some states and provinces inspection requirements are based on the difference between design GVWR and licensed GVWR.

Do you mean that some states might actually allow us to license for something higher than design GVWR? At which point, wouldn't that mean they are kind of telling you to exceed the manufacturer recommendations on payload and such? Or are we not even talking about passenger vehicles here
