cant be toung weight , if your tires are only rated to 12000 and the truck is rated to 13000, then you have the wrong tires on the truck. toung weight is added to the weight of the truck (takes away from payload) so if you are going to weigh 13000 you have to have tires that can handle it.
for me I have the highest payload option in my truck and it requires a 20" tire with a 3750 capacity to have that. so with a different tire I wouldnt have that high of a capicity.
think of it as your capacity is only as high as your weekest link. weather it is your axels or your tires one will limit how much you can leagaly carry.

Trailer GVWR, not truck.
