A friend of mine did this with a 28-ft 12,000 pound fiver behind his Tundra for three years, about 20,000 miles, without incident. The truck came with load range D tires, which he filled to max sidewall pressure on the rear (rather than the lighter doorpost setting) and he put on helper springs. Was the truck overloaded? Yes. Was it fatal to truck, trailer or occupants? No.
I told him his truck was badly overloaded. He did OK anyway. But his experience led him to trading for a Class C motorhome.
