So I would think the dealer who sold you the trailer would be liable as well to an extend for selling you a trailer that's bigger than what the truck can handle...
One in GA ~~ pulled a Chevy 1500 towing a TT for excessive sway
Told he would have to pull at minimum speed (50 in a 70)
Checked registration and trailer placard
Portable scales
2 1/2 hours later tow truck took the trailer
issued citation ~ over GCVWR
48 hours and storage fees would be added to towing bill
towing company pulled to a CG ~~ another bill
calling friends/family to find someone to tow him out of GA

I spoke with him Saturday as he was calling for someone with a bigger truck to help with no luck and running out of people to call. He wsas even asking people at the CG to move it for him.
