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...

Just be careful!


kaydeejay, to clarify was that 1000# and 1500# over the GVWR or GCVR? GVWR right?
GVWR. Vehicles were pickup trucks, not RVs.
