GVWR7,780 lbs.

Which basically would leave me with ~200lbs of cargo weight... ha

The hitch weight listed is a dry hitch weight. The real hitch weight as earlier stated will be about 13% of gvwr. That's around 1000 lbs. And don't forget to ad the weight of the weight distribution hitch into the equation. You have nothing left.
One other note as a rule of thumb, ideally one should be about 10% to 15% below capacity when towing. It's not a good idea to calculate right at max capacity. You truly need a 3/4 ton.
