Out of curiosity really, who tows over the 85% weight ratio guideline? I know I am one of them but I have been towing for 10 years now and towed all sorts of trailers and caravans behind all sorts of tow vehicles (all legal combinations though). As long as the trailer doesn't exceed the maximum weight for the tow vehicle and both parts are road worthy I am happy to drive it. My Volvo XC70 with the Unicorn Valencia is solid as a rock on the road.

So who else has a combination over 85% and do you find it stable etc?
