Can I Please Get a Towing Reality Check?

TV: 2010 F150 Screw, 145" bed, 4.6 3v, 3.55, tow pkg, curb 5167, GVWR 6900, payload 1680, GCWR 14,900, max trailer wt 9400.

Proposed TT: Salem Hemisphere 282RK, dry wt 6740, hitch 700.

My calculations: TV curb 5800 w/WD hitch, TT loaded 7700, hitch wt 924 (12%).

This leaves 176 under my GVWR. The TT would be 180 over the 80% rule.

What do y'all think? TIA
