Since you are towing with a Navigator, I will assume that you will have a few passengers. I expect that you will run out of GVWR before you reach the GCWR of your vehicle. The payload is listed on the tire loading sticker on the edge of the driver's door.
My toy hauler camper weight varies from 6640 to 7180. The yellow sticker weight on the camper was 5025 (7765 GVWR - 2740 payload). The brochure dry weight was 4650 (!).
Here is a little table showing my recent efforts to get the load on my truck below the GVWR and below the rear axle GAWR. I managed to move cargo from the truck to the camper to lower the cargo and passenger weight in the truck from 707 to 587 to 367. If all your cargo weight is passengers, you are stuck with it.
Now my truck is at 94% of GVWR, but only 82% of GCWR.
