Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating is 15,000lbs. The truck & trailer with everything in them needs to weigh less than 15,000lbs.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 7000lbs. The truck with everything in it needs to weigh less than 7,000lbs.
The real tow rating is 15,000lbs minus the weight of the loaded truck. 15,000lb-loaded truck weight=max trailer weight.
So take the wife, kids and dog for a ride to the truck stop and weigh the truck.
