That may not be a good test. I once overloaded my truck with sand to the tune of 1020 lbs beyond GVWR. After getting a scale ticket I realized how stupid of a mistake that was. It was only a 15 mile trip back to the house, but surprisingly the truck handled it very well. I needed a little more brake input and steering was ever so slightly vague, but other than that the truck drove normally. No white knuckle moments. I can't imagine what would've happened if I took that experience and bought a 5th wheel lol. Being overweight with a trailer is a different ballpark. Not only are you hauling the weight, but trying to control a high wall box that's really long.
