You are missing some important info, but first, I do not provide 'sure you can' and if that is what the OP is looking for...wait a while and there will be tons of them. Just note that is only one person responsible for the setup and that is the driver...no matter how many copies of 'sure you can' they have next to them...I'll provide some HOW2's for the OP to figure it out themselves
You are close and congrats on that. Missing are the actual weights and RGAWR
Most all weight is on the TV's rear axle. Just step back and look at your TV's side-view. Noting where the midpoint is between the front axle and rear axle. Normally it is at the driver door rear edge. ON a crew, it might be farther behind that, but not by much
That means most all of the stuff put into/onto the TV will have the weight on the rear axle and is where most TV's get into ratings trouble. Look at the different classes or categories within our Light Truck Class. Lowest class has RGAWR's below 5,000 lbs RGAWR. Higher class will have RGAWR's at 6,000 lbs or more
Then load up as if going RV'ing and weigh your TV, axle by axle.
Then re-do the simple math using that new info vs your TV's ratings
Over won't have the wheels instantly fall off...just sooner...and longer braking distance, etc
