My order of importance/priority
1) Rear Tire MAX LOAD Rating
2) RAWR
3) GVWR
I'm comfortable running at tire MAX Load, at RAWR and over GVWR
Not concerned with GCWR as I would have to exceed the other ratings to reach GCWR OR FAWR cause with a 5vr the front axle weight doesn't change much and is way under rating
Nor am I concerned with mfg. MAX Tow Rating as that is a magical number achieved by marketing group.........not in real world towing as most vehicle ratings would have to be exceeded to reach MAX TOW Rating
This is what I was looking for. In fact you have exactly described my situation. I'm under on tires, FAWR, and RAWR, but over on GVWR. I'm fairly close to max or just over on GCWR and just under on max tow.
I don't know if I'm comfortable with these results, but am happy to actually know where I stand.
