Calculated tow capability... Disappointed
So, in my search for the TT that the wife and I want, I've been diligently trying to calculate GVWR, GAWR, Traier capacity etc.. etc...I've read quite a bit, and I thought I would be okay with my tow ...

Well it looks like you've got another hundred or so if you go by your rear axle rating but you've got it pegged pretty well. There's not much play with half tons so the stated max tow ratings are pretty deceiving once you plug in real world scenarios. I don't know what kind of tires you've got but you could beef them up and add timbrens I guess, or just go get a heavier truck. To me when your trailer weights get in the 8000 range it's time to think about something bigger than a half ton. Granted where I live there are a lot more and bigger mountains than the southeast so maybe you could push it more.
