I'm not using the wrong tool at all. My vehicle is rated to tow a trailer and includes provisions for towing trailers. I might be slightly over capacity, but it's a small margin that I'm comfortable with.

I'm not meaning to attack, I just found the original comment a little absurd. If you take the two vehicles towing the same load, let's say a boat. The peterbuilt would stop very close to its empty stopping range, if not right at it, where the audi will not be close when pushed to the maximum towing capacity or over(ie towing a boat). You increase that load to close to the peterbuilts maximum you will have the same issue with the peterbuilt, but that load is so far out of the range of the audi that it's not even worth mentioning.
When you push a vehicles towing capacity you have consequences and have to make concessions. Most of the time those concessions are shortening the life span of the vehicle, if you're unlucky those concessions are being able to operate safely in emergency situations.
Like I said use the wrong tooll all you want, just don't try and sell it as not having consequences or a good idea.
