I haven't read ALL the replies in this thread BUT, in 2008 when I was looking for a fiver TV and did consider a TT as a possible TV, *THE PROBLEM* was with the PIN WEIGHT. Lots (or at least 'enough') 'Tow Power'/more than enough 'straight pull' capacity BUT *way under capacity* on the PW side. Things don't automatically get 'seriously risky' at (say) 10% 'over' (or even 20% over) (truck makers design in very considerable safety margins BUT...) you would? might? be in a 'pickle' if ever weighed/stopped by 'men in uniforms'... Even if 'REALLY not unsafe', the risk of possible damage to the truck - axles, frame, (not breaking, but bending, distorting, etc...)... *I* personally wouldn't risk it.
