My opinion:
If you have the weight distribution hitch, transmission cooler, proper brake system set up properly, and a hitch rated for the weight, I think you could give it a try. Take it easy, especially at first. You should get a feeling pretty soon as to whether it's adequate or not. That's the thing with trailers, you'll know pretty soon just by feel whether you vehicle is adequate or not.
Just driving home with the dry weight shouldn't be dangerous, if it feels off, the weight isn't so absurdly over that you couldn't ease yourself home. Without a weight distribution hitch, that's may not be the case.

I was talking about the tow vehicle tire rating, and unless im confused his hitch is not rated for what he is going to tow , dry weight even.
And i hope he gets the feeling without crashing his vehicle and risking lives! , i dont think you should be telling someone that he should give this a try and see what happens. its clearly NOT a good idea.
