I am not suggesting that you exceed the manufactuers published towing limits. I am saying that if the published limit for a specific vehicle is 5,000lbs then you can safely tow up to that limit not 80% of that limit i.e. 4,000lbs. And in the example of a Toyota Highlander up to 3,500lbs not 80% of that- 2,800lbs. What I am confident in saying is that in setting the stated towing limit the manufactuer would have included a substancial safety margin into his calculation to be sure that the towing limits could be utalized to the maximum with complete safety.
