3000 lbs max-payload could well be the dealership was lying to me.
An interesting story - When I visited CampingWorld, the service department couldn't find any towing capacity for my vehicle(via the towing chart). Then she called dealership(who sold me the TV), and confirmed that the max payload and towing capacity. Those numbers(agreed increditably high) are different than what the yellow stick says(which is 1814 lbs). The manager, who said she has been working in the industry for 25 years, said "The yellow stick could be off if there are some customization package installed to the TV", and for a fact, I knew from the windowsticker the previous owner had bought it with the towing package(not sure whether it's the max-tow-package though).
With that being said, I still wouldn't trust those numbers, wouldn't put crazy load on it, but thinking loaded TT 7000 lbs shouldn't be too much for it.
The current tire does have 50 PSI rated. See the attachment below.
Your TV is certainly still very well suited for towing a trailer that size and yes the dealer is FOS (full of ____). The placard on the vehicle is how it left the factory.
Without getting into people's theories about how much weight is too much, know that you don't have any issues with the capability of the truck.
(If it did have the HDPP, which it doesn't, it would have come with higher rated tires OE and stiffer rear springs)
