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...

Not quite the case and with ours, we weren't about to buy another coach and/or toad, so went with the physics of it all. So far and after 10K miles of testing all over the Rockies and beyond, it has performed well, been inspected and re-inspected without any ill effects found thus far.
Again, the tranny doesn't always like it and we have prepared for those instances as well. In fact, I'd have to say, that the whole rating was based on this alone, because the exact same model coach in a Ford is rated much higher and well within limits.
Huh! Did you ever stop to think that maybe Ford put a higher class hitch on than GM did?
Good to see you can make a professional assessment of all the dynamics of the OPs rig by some posts, even to the point of what the weak points will be for overloaded towing. I sure wish I had that kind of crystal ball....I'd be a multi-millionaire by now!
