Welcome to the forum!
What is the actual payload of your truck? That will be found on the tire and loading spec sticker inside the drivers door. That's where we should start. Max payload also includes passengers in the vehicle, and with 3 adult passengers that will likely eat up 400 pounds of payload at least.
Unfortunately I think you will find you will be severely over the trucks payload rating as most of these larger higher end TCs are meant for duallys.
While some people are comfortable being slightly over the trucks gvwr, all agree the axle and tire ratings should not be exceeded. You can find this out by taking the truck empty to the scales and weigh the rear axle and see how much capacity you have left.
Good luck!
Tire sticker is 3240 (passengers and cargo). Rear axle sticker Is 7230.
