Some people think overloading the truck when towing is unsafe and could lead to accident or injury.
Some people think overloading the truck when towing may cause excess wear on the truck.

Some people think overloading the truck when towing could cause liability issues if there's an accident.
Are all of these thoughts correct? Maybe. Maybe not.
Maybe it depends on how overweight the truck is, and the make/model/year of your truck, and where you're towing, and what your insurance policy fine print says, and whether someone sees you as having a lot of money, and other factors.
It's always up to the reader to consider the advice and decide what to do.
Or you can join the hotshots and laugh at the advice given.
Of course, it's easier to laugh if you have enough truck for your trailer. Not as funny if you're the one trying to decide what to do.
