Is being a little over GVWR no worse than doing 60 in a 55?

We're struggling between a Lance1985 and a 2285 and to add to that struggle are concerned about our RAM1500 tow capabilities. Many, maybe a majority, are pulling 1985s and 2285s size TTs, 4500 to 500...

There's no sticker on your truck that says it can't exceed the speed limit. There is however a payload sticker to limit your GVWR. just sayin. Yes, many do it. Whether it's no worse is your call, cause it's your truck, your trailer, your $ if it cost you in the end. So IMHO it's all the same legally, but if your close, driver skill may play a bigger factor.
