I've extensively traveled North America (USA, Canada, Mexico) with pickups and vans towing race car trailers. I've learned quite a bit, as I often towed an enclosed, 3 axle, 6 car trailer (open wheel race cars) .
1) Don't push your tire weight limits. Whether it's your pickup's rear axle, or your trailers tires.
2) Drive slowly, slower than you might naturally drive. I never exceeded the limit and often slightly below with a heavy trailer.
3) Check your tire temps from time to time, to assess strain.
4) Carry a spare trailer tire, tools and jack. (pump and plug kit too)
5) I try hard not to strain the engine or transmission. Often by accelerating slowly at part throttle.
6) You'll have a blast having fun! Instead of dealing with problems.
