Perfect example, My truck when fully loaded with the trailer attached has roughly only 200lbs left before reaching it's GVWR. My trailer is only 7500lbs and my truck has a tow rating of 11,200lbs so i know exactly what your talking about...
I wasn't referring to HIS trailer I was referring to his statement he can tow up to 8500 lbs. An 8500 lb trailer would have a TW over 1000lbs...agreed?
and to your question "what will be far exceeded?" If people used their "max tow rating" to purchase a trailer and met that number their payload,gcvwr, rear axle will be exceeded..everytime
