Your vehicle has several limits. Individual axle weights (GAWR), total vehicle weight (GVWR), and combined weight of vehicle and trailer (GCVWR). The limit is whichever one is reached FIRST, not LAST.
On my truck with trailer, the weight limit I am closest to is the rear axle weight limit (GAWR). You will exceed the GAWR or GVWR long before your combined total ever gets close to the GCVWR.
