While he may have had success with it, I'd suggest to others who might try it that it is blatantly illegal to tow over the rated weight in virtually every state. Granted, I'm not one who follows all traffic laws especially the ones related to highway speeds, but towing at 50% over the rating of any tow vehicle is a recipe for potential disaster.
