I like to see at least a 10% margin on all weights when sizing a tow vehicle. when sizing a non tow vehicle to be a tow vehicle I would want 15 to 20% margin.
And I think it would be interesting to go back to the dealerships in question and ask their sales manager to sign a letter you have written, to whom it may concern this trailer, X, will tow safely with this vehicle, Y. The purpose of the request would simply be to see how badly they wanted a sale, no other. Tee-hee
