overload towing
1986 F250, zf5, sterling 10.25 w/ 4.10, banks sidewinder. engine in great condition and truck overall runs like new-ish ha. so my question is can my truck with a weight distibuting hitch haul a 27ft trailer with 11- 15k on it. that would put my GCVW at 17-21k. i know that this is way about what the manufacturer recomends but is it relativley safe if i keep speeds around 70mph? I will be towing skid steers and cars on this trailer. just want to know if this is a bad idea. thanks
P.S. im very fimiliar and good at towing already ( large boats, long enclosed trailers) but nothing above 8-9k though.

this trailer is a tag along

well like i said i have quite a bit of expierence with towing and i understand how to get er to stop. i just wanted to know can my truck pull this or what kind of things to expect from towing that load with this truck. i towed in the past with an 05 cummins and sold it when i got married and bought my ford and a 2011 tacoma for my wife. so towing with this old ford is new. its a single cab 4x4 so its about 3k lighter and alot shorter than my dodge
