The issue of being overweight comes up frequently. Every time someone asks if anyone has ever been either cited (non-commercial) or denied insurance coverage for being over weight the answer has always been no.

I think long wheelbase vehicles are inherently more stable, but there are things you can should do to fix instability issues. I would rather drive a well setup Jeep CJ towing a long trailer than an F250 crew cab long bed towing a short trailer with inadequate tongue weight.
There are no laws in NH regarding truck/car/SUV manufacturer's rated towing capacity. The only laws we have dictate the maximum weight an axle can carry, the trailer weight limit for trailer brake requirements, and that tire capacities can not be exceeded.
