In your case these are your numbers. for the trailler
The GVWR is the fully loaded weight. 7570
UVW iss the empty weight - 4947
Leaving you with a total payload,CCC stuff you load 2623
Hitch weight is totally seperate. It is the weight of the trailer tongue pressing down on the truck's ball. in this case. 570 lbs
This number matters because trucks have a tow capacity Weight you can pull.
As well as a payload capacity, amount of weight you can load IN the truck, which your hitch weight counts toward.
