Maxed out means nothing, that's why it has a " max " tow rating, and a MAX weight rating, and a MAX axle rating. When you reach that number, it just means the components are not designed to have more than that much weight. I've noticed on this forum you get a lot of " 1/2 ton won't tow anything ", I would take much of it with a grain of salt.
Provide us with the dry weight, tongue weight, and then provide us with the year , make, and model of your truck. If you can, check the yellow sticker in the door, provide us with the GVWR and the RAWR , it honestly shouldn't matter if you're within one pound of the max weight rating, NOTHING happens when you reach that max weight rating, the world won't end, and you won't die. The truck will drive perfectly fine, it's literally designed to haul that much weight. Being at the low end of that scale, versus being at the high end of the scale comes with the exact same consequences if something goes wrong. you do not have a higher probability of having a bad ride because you're maxxed out, contrary to what it seems everyong, and I do mean everyone, here seems to think / say.
(GASP) Heresy!! Where's the tar and the feathers? LOL :D
