The manufacturer's have designed the truck and they have published ratings to be used for towing (I'd be willing to bet they also publish a safe speed for towing). And towing at 100% of those numbers is not "playing roulette" with lives. Sorry, your "gleaned information" doesn't trump the manufacturer's collective knowledge, testing, and designing.
I don't dispute anything you've said. I believe in the towing parameters produced by the manufacturers.
Nevertheless I prefer to tow a RV trailer with a 3/4 ton vs. a 1/2 ton based on my experience using both.
