If you "think" you are overweight, most likely you probably really are!Click here. :B

Yes, you are significantly over payload and rear axle ratings. You can pull the trailer or carry the atv but not both at the same time.

I'd be concerned about not only the tires and dims but the entire driveline, especially the rear differential, the bearings are not designed or rated for that much load.

Wow! :EFWIW, I currently tow a 19' couple's model that typically averages ~ 4800 lbs loaded & ready to camp, with an average gross tongue weight of ~ 625 lbs, ~ 430 lbs of live "cargo" in the truck, ~ 200 lbs in the truck bed, and with my 1/2 ton 2012 Silverado I'm pretty well tapped out of payload capacity.Are you over? ... no doubt about it, WAY over. :(

At least 850 over what is the TV GVWR? More worrisome yet is what is the weight rating of your TV tires.
