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...

No harm, no foul ;)

Towing at or slightly over GVWR and/or GCVWR, you want to be sure all braking systems are in good working order.


Under. At or slightly under. I thought I'd read earlier in the thread that being right at the limit could be a problem, but when I re-read it (see the next post I wrote above yours) I see there's no real concern.
