I'm not at all advocating that you should tow beyond your tow vehicles capabilities, but what I've learned over the past 6 years of towing my trailer with my 1/2 ton truck is that speed is the most important safety factor there is.
You got it. A small difference in speed makes a huge difference in stability and braking.
The weight police have blinders on and see only one issue. It's not irrelevant, but it has a minor impact on RV safety in the real world. That's why they come up with gems like:
"I replaced my ST tires with LT tires so I can go as fast as I want."
"Speed limits aren't based on anything real."
"I almost hit a child because I wasn't paying attention, but now I bought a bigger truck so I'm good."
I've read all the above and worse on this forum.
