There are actually laws that pertain to this subject and if you're involved in an accident with an overloaded rig YOU may be at fault. I decided to go a bit overkill for future expansion with the 2500HD as my '94 1/2 ton damn near made me s#!t my pants one time during a freeway panic stop.
This is sound advice - weight and wheelbase are your friends when towing, especially bumper towing. I've towed with a bunch of stuff over the years, but my trusty old Dodge is the here for life!
