It's not a myth at all. Half tons tow HEAVY every single day. Fivers, TT's, gravel...etc etc etc etc.
Folks it's about the operator, balancing the load, driving sensibly, working in the real world... Not about some silly sticker. That silly sticker in the door sill DOES NOT MAKE YOU SAFE.
Only you...the operator....can make any rig safe!
Thanks!

You make a good point that ultimately it's up to the operator. However the ratings serve a purpose. Ignoring the sticker or ratings is foolish.
Failure to use the right tool for the right job is a common mistake.
But as you mentioned it's up top the operator to ensure things are safe. Operator error is a common catch phrase used when the operator
fails to act wisely
