I measured my tongue weight at 510 pounds and this was probably a little low. It would not surprise me if fully loaded we are between 4500 and 5000 pounds. Again, having done it myself, I think you are asking for trouble getting too close to the allowed limits. If you are at low altitudes or are only going to be on secondary roads at low speeds, then you may be fine. But if you are at highway speeds on freeways and in the mountains, this could come back to haunt you. Just my two cents worth, I know many on the forum won't agree.
