That's like saying I don't need gloves in the winter because I've only had frostbite twice.
Having the right truck for the job is wise once or 100 times and the OP may have enough truck. IDK
If your at or over payload a couple/few hundred pounds for a short trip once or twice a year i wouldn't see it as justification to spend more on a bigger truck. What your doing with it also comes into play. are you towing it to the local campground under an hour away? or are you pulling across the country and through the mountains? if its the latter id definitely upgrade the vehicle.
that being said i wouldn't pull a 10,000lb trailer with a ranger or a colorado.
