It is not pulling the thing, it is the stopping the thing.
Sooner, rather than later, there will be that split second situation when you will wish that you had a whole lot more truck. Some car will brake suddenly infront of you. You will go into an exit too fast. 16,000lbs of trailer will want to overtake a way too small truck. It won't be pretty.
I have never felt this was a issue with heavy trailer. The brakes on trailer are designed to stop trailer. Now trailer brakes fail, stopping will be issue, but unless the GVWR of the TV is at least equal to GCVW, that issue does not go away.
