I don’t know about LV laws, but around here 3000lbs in a 1/2 ton pickup would be a $1500 fine if you got caught. ($1/lb overweight)
Your knowledge I"m assuming was gained through education and not the road of hard knocks.

A 5000 pound payload on a half ton in addition to a hefty fine would also lead to criminal charges being, vehicle impoundment, loss of drivers licence for driving over its designated weight class.



Overweight above 30% would become a criminal offence.
