You're close enough you probably would be wise to load up like you'd leave for a trip and run it over a scale, but my guess is you'll be just fine. Toy haulers tend to have pretty high carrying capacities so I don't think the general rule of thumb to assume full GVWR when figuring your numbers is necessarily accurate. If your only "toys" are 750 lbs of motorcycle I would question that you'd ever have 4500 lbs of stuff loaded in the trailer.
Actually, loading a bunch of stuff in the garage would help keep the loaded pin weight to a minimum and likely keep it from exceeding the truck's rear GAWR. I don't believe that the historical assumption of 20% - 25% of the trailer's GVWR being a good estimate of loaded pin weight is valid for toyhaulers.
