While I do recommend you get your rig weighed, as you are likely on the edge, I'll share some of my own experiences when towing at or beyond my vehicles limits.

I since have upgraded trailer and tow vehicle and have extra capacity in payload and towing. Always feels good now.
p.s. Anytime I've weighed my rig or weighed my tongue alone for the first time with that rig/trailer, I've always been VERY surprised. You might be as well.
