Your trailer salesperson is probably not an expert on trailers and for sure isn't an expert on tow vehicles. Good for you for checking up on him.
As others have said you will likely be over on some of your load capacities. I think folks are surprised by the weight of all the junk they take on a trip.
My opinion (for what it's worth) is that you will be looking for a new truck in the near future if you go ahead with your trailer purchase.
Real world numbers.
Brochure UVW of my TT is 6035 and TW is 650.
My TV with me, dog, wife and full fuel is 6,000 pounds (CAT weight).
My gross with my trailer connected with TV loaded and ready to roll is 13,780 pounds (CAT weight) and TW is 900 or so.
