I'm not arguing, but I'd just like to know how a law enforcement officer is going to know what my vehicle is rated to tow?

Like I said you will probably never get caught, but it is a possibility. I am sure if they wanted to find out they could. I am sure the state weight stations have a cheat sheet telling what the max for each vehicle is. Example: 2004-2008 Expedition 9,000#. I guarantee you if there were a accident a lawyer would find out all this info if needed. But once again, the chance of anyone ever getting caught is slim.
