Manufacturers will tell you you can tow at a certain number. But in reality those numbers just are not safe (or healthy for your tow vehicle) on steep grades or bad weather.

65% rule...don't exceed 65% of your towing capacity and have a good brake controller that you know how to use.
Gotta love the nonsensical "rules" made up by random people on the internet. 65% rule. Oooooh kay.
