I would say that exceeding your payload by 10% is no more dangerous than going 10% over the speed limit, something a great number of people do regularly.
Dont think thats a good analogy. You overload your rear axle weight rating by 10%, (example, 6,000# RAWR @ 10% over will equate to 600# over their RAWR !!! Thats not safe. Going 10% over 70mph speed limit equates to 77mph....not hardly the same thing, and possibly wouldnt even get you pulled over.
Just because some do it doesn't make it "OK", nor does it make it safe. I'll never come on these forum and with a clear conscience tell someone its ok to exceed their towing limits.
