Honestly. You can SAFELY tow right up to the manufacturers posted capacity. They did the research, and math. No need for you to redo it, and lower the capacities the engineers developed.
Well, there's a skeptic in me that wonders how much influence the marketing department has over the engineering department at the Big 3. It seems like they have plenty of reason to push the limits so they can advertise that they have the biggest baddest beast on the road. If everyone pushes a few hundred pounds here and there, all of a sudden there's a tiny asterisk at the bottom of their towing claims... I know, they can't push it too much for fear of a huge lawsuit, but I suspect they push it a little.
