Am I overweight ?

I believe he is way overweight but so many unclear numbers and acronyms, I can't say for sure.

If the 3950 is the RAWR (Rear Axle Weight Rating) and the measured load on the rear axle is 4800, yes, you are over on that rating by a large amount.

If the trailer axles are 6600 each (13200 total) and 10000 GVNR(???) is really the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), your trailer is way overweight by itself.

Good chance your truck GVWR is over and the CGVWR (Combined Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: it total of both truck and trailer) are way over.

There may be other things that are over also but hard to say with sketch info. If you have a 12,000lb toy hauler, yeah, you are probably looking a a minimum of 3/4 ton but only if the detailed numbers work out. A SRW (Single Rear Wheel) 1 ton, will probably work.

Another consideration with a toy hauler is will you ever pull it with no toys? The toys in the back reduce the hitch weight. So if you have 12-15% of the trailer on the hitch, if you take the toys out, even though the total weight of the trailer goes down, the hitch weight is likely to go up.
