Good morning Tom! Just because the vehicle is rated to pull x amount of weight doesn't mean it can pull it easy or it should. He is pulling a box down the road. Enclosed trailers pull hard regardless of the weight. Pulling a 3500lb boat like you have down the road will pull way easier then a 3500lb square box. The vehicle will work way harder pulling the box down the road. GCWR ratings are mostly a joke as far as I am concerned. Just because your vehicle is rated for it doesn't mean it can pull it easily.

My point was simply that I don't see him hurting anything as long as it doesn't overheat.

I'm very familiar Troy, I've owned a couple enclosed trailers in addition to the years I spent as a truck driver. It's always amazed me how people like to talk about towing fuel economy as a function of weight, when wind resistance means far more in most cases.
