Just my opinion-If you are going down the road to camp or over to the next state 200 miles away you will be fine. But, on the other hand, if you plan on heading out across country for 1500 miles I think you will wish you had a bigger truck.
X2. I have twice over the years knowingly towed trailers very close to my rated capacities. It worked fine and I never once felt unsafe, but it was clear from vehicle performance that anything more than short trips on relatively flat roads was going to be too much for the combinations. Much better towing experience and more flexibility in trip planning when you have lots of reserve capacity.
