Don't worry about 150 lbs. Most of the towing "resistance" is due to air drag or wind. Going down the road one either feels comfortable about it or not. Trust your gut. If you feel overloaded you probably are. I tow a 11,000 lbs 39' TT with a Toyota Tundra and all is well. I don't get in a hurry and try and take it easy and I usually don't have problems and monitor closely what is going on such as equalization hitch settings, brake controller settings, tire pressures and temps, hub temps, trany temps, weather/wind etc. I drive a 80,000 truck for a living with 2 million accident free miles so I might have a slight advantage in experience. To be honest, my 39' TT is way more of a challenge to drive than my 80,000 tracker-trailer. The point is if one pays attention to what is going on then one can head off many problems.
