I'd agree that experience helps, but at some point the limitations of the tow vehicle will overcome the capabilities of the best driver. Things beyond your control can rear their ugly heads at a moments notice.
Idk if 2k over limit on a Tundra is that or not, but as tail gunner stated, when you start hitting trailer weights in the 5 digits, it's time for a heavy duty truck.
It may not be illegal, or uninsurable, but if one is injured in a wreck by someone who was towing overweight, there'd certainly be grounds for a civil case I'd think.
One may think their truck is capable, but I've seen a pull behind cement mixer start swaying behind a 1/2 ton truck, and it took two lanes of interstate for him to barely get it back under control.
Oh, and I've been backing trailers for decades, but I'm thinking my crew cab long bed dually will definitely be an adventure in backing when hooked to the 12' jon boat, lol.
