2000 lbs of tongue weight is 2000lbs of payload. If the wheel base is approx 160" and the distance from the center of the rear axle to the center of the trailer ball hitch is say 60" then the weight that 2000 lbs tongue weight would add to the rear axle is 2750 lbs. So the 2000 lb tongue load would add 2750 to the rear axle and cause 750 lbs to be removed from the front axle.

Yeah that's why I figured I'd be a few hundered over the payload of 4779.

400lbs of canopy and rack
2500lbs of bedslide and tools
2000lbs of adjusted tongue weight

4900lbs = 121 lbs over listed payload rating

We'll see if it points the headlights to the sky or not.
