You understand the numbers, and yours are correct. IMO, even though I am not, many people towing FWs exceed the GVWR of the tow vehicle. I have no problem with this on a 3/4 ton truck, within reason, say 500 lbs or less. The important number is the RAWR, or tire max load.
In your case, I would not be worried about adding 2,200 lbs of pin wt, plus a 200 lb hitch, as long as you don't add any additional heavy items to the bed. This will put you over GVWR, but well under rear axle and tire rating.

Why?
Why is RAWR important? It is simply the load rating of a single componemt, not the sum of the total package. Same for tires? What do they have to do with the complete package ratings?
The answer is NOTHING!
The axle mfg did not assemble the vehicle. The tire mfg did not assemble the vehicle. They are not responsible for what vehicle others use their product for, as long as someone else does not overload their product thwir in the clear liability wise.
Your comments are so irrational on so many levels its no longer funny. Just sad.
Don, you have been on this forum long enough to know the differences between modern 3/4 ton HD trucks, compared to 1 ton SRW trucks. If you haven't figured it out, that is just sad, I will not explain it to you again!
Have a great day!:)
