Is there a tolerance allowed? There is for heavy vehicles, but it's best not to rely on it.
If you're going to run heavy, make it worthwhile.
What does your manual say? That's the key point.
Lot of discussion about this. LR has its own approach to this.
Here's a thread may be helpful.

I'm surprised none of the expected posters have got onto this one........

There was a big thread about ball weights in the 'Trailers and Vans.....' section a year or so ago.
Personally, I find the '10%' rule amusing because it doesn't appear to have any relevance to any science that I can find.
If you take to an extreme .... you're towing 6 tonnes in a vehicle capable of doing it,
then why would you need 600kg on the towbar?
