Overweight Toad?
So I just noticed yesterday that my tow hitch says max 3500 lbs. With my tow dolly and car, I'm going to be up around 4200 lbs. Is that too much? I know there has to be some wiggle room in that 350...

The answer apparently is that as soon as you pull out of the driveway a couple hundred lbs over the hitch rating, you have instant and massive failure of everything. It doesn't even matter if the poor guy has a re-enforced frame or not.
Right, that's the point all right, you guessed it. :S
I am not sure why we waste our time on those that obviously know more than the engineers that build the hitches. Those numbers are for silly folk who pander to superstition and paranoia. You guys must be pretty smart while the rest of us idiots follow the rules and think about our safety as well as others. Man we must look pretty stupid. Books and instructions are stupid too. And lets not talk about laws. They are made up for other people. Not the Savants we have on here. Thank you for your insight oh father of RV omnipotence.
