Tow Vehicle for 3500 lb gvwr travel trailer

Forum Discussion
Alright, the Traverse website shows that the GVWR is 6400 lbs and the curb weight is 4646 lbs. Does that mean the payload capacity is 1754 lbs?
So, the tt loaded is estimated to be 3500, and if I include my family driving in the tv I would add another 550 lbs to bring the total weight I am moving to 4000 lbs. The tongue weight would be approximately 500 lbs, which would bring my total to 4500 lbs "moving." This total would cause me to be 500 lbs above 80% of towing capacity.
Am I doing the math correctly, and if I am, does this put me out of a "safe zone" to be towing?
Thanks again!
