Those ratings are based, mostly, on a 10% tongue
Real world will mostly be north of that 10% and that will reduce the MTWR and, or payload rating...plus would eat into the rear axle’s rating
Am with old-biscuit...RGAWR is my main, but not only criteria
Will always have tires rated for more than the axle rating
Also, some trailers just tow better...to some are horrible...so just using their weight would be worthless
