Since this discussion has gone longer than i expected, i thought i should recap the factual items:
Curb weight (straight from GM based on my vin#) = 5359lb
GM should also have the curb weight for each axle. Other that occupants, most of the added weight will be on the rear axle. Then you can get a good idea what the loaded rear axle weight will be vs. rear GAWR.
Being slightly over on the truck's GVWR is not nearly as serious as exceeding the axle rating. There are many diesel 3/4 trucks with under 10k lb GVWRs that are being exceeded every day.
