Your truck probably weighs 7500-8000 lbs. That leaves you with 3500-4000 lbs of cargo capacity which includes fuel, passengers, hitch weight and any other items you put in the truck.
The truck is rated to tow 15,200 lbs so if you don’t exceed you trailer gross weight you will be almost 1200 lbs under max tow rating.
With the trailer hooked up the max your entire rig can weigh is 23,000 lbs.
Based on your numbers you’re OK in all areas.
However, manf published weights may not be as accurate as they claim.
Load everything as you plan to use it and weigh it to be sure.
