Tow Capacity=GCVWR-GVWR
Payload=GVWR-UVW
Actual Numbers
Tow capacity........run out of payload and GVWR long before reaching magical marketing 'tow rating'
Payload.......Truck loaded up 'camp ready' weight subtracted from GVWR while taking in account RAWR and Rear Tire Max Load Rating at max psi
Real world
Stay within RAWR/Rear Tire Max Load......more then likely will be over GVWR if loading to full rating(s)
3/4 ton........limited payload due to lower GVWR
