Part of this was my confusion. I was counting hitch and tongue weight together. I didn't understand why I was flying by the payload limit. Yes, I'm aware of those things. I was looking for a starting point. Empty truck and loaded trailer. Later I input passengers and gear to see where I think I would be. Looks like I'll be at or slightly below the capacity of my truck. Have to decide if I like that, or opt for a smaller trailer.
No one tows empty, so it doesn't make a good starting point.
Also it's common for newbies to not realize how many things eat up payload, so when you say only 400lb...that's the first assumption people will make is that you don't understand.
