Nothing personal... But you're pulling a TM with vehicle that is only rated to pull 1500lbs? Don't call your insurance company when you have an accident as they and the police will point you in the direction of negligence. They don't make a TM that weighs in less than 3500 lbs. So your saying that you're comfortable towing in excess of twice the safe and factory recommended limit?

That's incredibly selfish... That is if I understand you correctly.
