I pulled my 41 rushmore with my 13 duramax . srw felt a bit tippy at times but stop fine. Same brakes as my new one ton. I was right or a bit over my max weight at 15800 for the 13 slt model.
The signs that you are over your limits will be subtle.
A wheel will not just break off like in a cartoon. However the rig may feel a "bit tippy" or unstable at times.
If you have never towed with a truck that is within ALL of its towing parameters. The truck that is not within its parameters may seem fine because there is nothing to compare to.
Towing a trailer with drum brakes feels fine until you tow the same trailer with disc brakes installed and realize how poorly the drum brakes were performing.
