How do you know you're towing too much weight?

We've been told here that our Sequoia can only tow the standard rating of 7500 lbs, despite having the tow package which the manufacturer says can tow 9500. We'll never get near that number, of cours...

Towing weight is important, but to me, stopping ability is also another very important point. Find out what your brakes (and tires) are rated for. It is really scary to have all 4 tires skidding as a trailer pushes you from behind.
That's why they put trailer brakes on the trailers to stop it, tv brakes only go so far. If the trailer is pushing you the tt brakes are not working rite.
