I've been following your posts, and I'm somewhat dissapointed by the fact that after all the advice given, your still
solely focused on tow capacity.I gave the exact information on payload as this:

From Toyota's website, that number would be 1280 lbs (when properly equipped).
So every bit of advice you have been given regarding how much you can tow doesn't really amount to a hill of beans.
Since your stuck on 6000 lbs, doing the same math as in handye9's post gives you available payload of 480 lbs. The weight of a tank of gas is going to take a chunk from that. Yes - all the numbers are confusing, but what your TV can haul is much more important that what it can tow, and as advised, weight hauled(payload) will be reached well before weight towed(tow capacity).
Since you won't post a picture of the door sticker, hopefully, you have the correct tires and proper inflation. Braking should be handeled by the brake controller/trailer brakes. Hopefully your TV has been recently serviced - brakes, trans, all fluids, etc. It's important to check tire pressure on the TV and the TT before every trip.
Looking forward to seeing your scale weights. Make sure you TV is loaded for camping - have the hitch installed, and a full tank of gas. All people and animals should be in there as well - you are planning on weighing the TV as well right? Please say yes.... Not expecting to go over X number of pounds is whishful thinking. Good luck.
