It has been said many times the numbers posted by the sales team/manufacturer are wrong in the real world. Sometimes a little, sometimes a LOT! like thousands of pounds wrong without your toothpaste tube in the new rig. As we said before, yes you can hook up and tow your new trailer. Will one of a few of the magic numbers be over, maybe, will it make it unsafe to tow? probably not but without having real numbers it is still a guessing game. Thousands of F250/2500 series pick up trucks are out there towing and many are over the numbers somewhere. You don't see broken busted trucks scattered all along the highway. Having a larger capacity safety margin is what many of those truck owners move up to but not all. I can't say you will not be the one with problems, I always tried to lean to the side of more than less capacity.
