I am happy to not be around any one, towing anything-ever. The level of danger is certainly amplified.
Using some of the practices mentioned here, I'd agree. Using proper, proven safe practices, danger is not significantly increased.

Drive down in FL and you see people towing those stupid RV travel trailer will underequip vehicles all the time.

The 3/4 ton rule is kinda dumb. A 90's or earlier 3/4 ton will have (not all) the same or even lower capacity then a new Ranger. My Ranger even with bigger tires will put pull my dad's '01 F-250, stop faster, and gets better mileage. Now if your taking a newer truck, yes I get it. Just Trucks have changed a lot. The current Ranger, is more like a early 2000 F-150 capacity wise.
My ranger is better in all measurements than my 2008 F150 with the exception of about 100lbs of payload.
