You need to know your vehicle's max cargo capacity not the towing capacity.
My F-150 has a max cargo of 1400 lbs. My 5000 lb dry weight TT has 750 lbs on the tongue when loaded for the road.
That leave me just 650 lbs for people, dog and gear.
There is no 80% buffer for us, still the combo works just fine because there are just two of us.
