Thanks again for everyones patience!
Add the loaded tongue weight plus occupants and cargo in the truck. That amount can not exceed your payload capacity. (Which is what I think you are saying)

To get the loaded tongue weight estimate, take the GVWR for the trailer and multiply it by .12. That will give you a pretty good estimate of the real world tongue weight as 12% of your loaded trailer.

I took a look at your earlier post which says your trucks GVWR is 7200 pounds and the curb weight is 5670 pounds. If those numbers are correct then the payload number on your door sticker (all cargo and occupants should not exceed xxxx) should read 1530 pounds.

GVWR-curb weight = payload capacity
