With those axle ratings and the numbers you calculated (adjusting the incorrect tongue weight), you will exceed the Rear GAWR and maybe the Front GAWR, also.

You really need to think this through, that combination is going to be miserable and probably cause some vehicle failures.

I'll add that you'll be over the receiver spec since a proper TW is 12-13%, not 10%.

I used to tow with an Expy, and with my TT @ 6220 lbs (loaded, weighted) and a TW of 810 lbs (weighted), the RGAW and GVW were @ 100% capacity. That setup, though it towed quite well resulted in a tranny failure last summer.

Which reminds me I need to update that signature...
