Towing capabilities (so confusing)

I have never been perfectly clear on the towing weight things but am now getting more comfortable with them. I am pretty sure (positive) I am overloaded for my present truck ( 2008 Ford F350 SRW) that has a published 5th wheel towing of 15,200 and a GCWR of 23,000. My trailer has a GVWR of 17000. Will it tow it, of course it will. Should it tow it, of course not. After months of looking for a newer TV I decided to bite the bullet and order a new 2022 F350 DRW with a GCWR of 40,000 lbs and a published towing (5th wheel) of 31,800 lbs. and a payload of a little over 5,000 lbs.

So to sum it up I *think* I broke the code and will be getting a truck capable of towing my 2019 356 and still have room for a few bottles of water in the cab.

Comments and suggestions welcomed. Because I live in NV and will have to get a new license I want to make sure I am within all weight limits before driving down for my new license and driving test (where they check weights).
