Am I reading this right? (Receiver capacity)
I just saw this sticker on my new (to me) tow vehicle. Am I correct in assuming that with a weight distribution hitch, I can have a tongue weight of up to 1500lbs? Weights: TV: G...

Missing is the GCWR, which is set by your TV's OEM...'R' for rating,
but many do not believe in it...I do and you, the OP, need to decide
if you do or not
The most important of the axle ratings is the rear, as that is where
most of the weight will be. No matter fiver or tongued.
Very little goes onto the front axle. Just look at 'most' TV's and
note where the center point between the wheels is...and that most
has the drivers door rear edge smack on that center line...or there abouts
on 'most' TVs
So, most of the stuff loaded into/onto the TV will go on it's rear axle

Here's what it says on the door jamb label:
GVWR 9200 lbs
GAWR FRT 4670 lbs
GAWR RR 6084 lbs
I'm confused about this since the Frt and RR numbers don't add up to the GVWR.
The TT:
Unloaded Vehicle Weight (lbs) 7600
Dry Hitch Weight (lbs) 910
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (lbs) 9975
Cargo Carrying Capacity (lbs) 2375
I don't tow with water or anything in the tanks - at least, not much more than a token amount.
