Chances are, like most of us you will end up at or near your max cargo limit.
That is a polite way of saying that when you finally get to the CAT scales; like me you will go "WOW".
But I have driven half-tons since the seventies, occasionally you crowd the payload limit. For some this is a white knuckle drive, for others just a heavy load.
For reference the literature said my TT weighted 5004# dry with 400# on the tongue, the CAT scales said the TT was 6200# when loaded for the road with 750 lbs. of that on the tongue.
Good Luck,
